Select one:a. $68,000b. $27,500c. $39,300d. $50,000e. None of the above
Answer is : d.$50,000
Solution:
Step 1: Find the future value of $12,300 deposited for next 20 years.
We can use the future value of annuity formula:
Where,
FVA = Future Value of Annuity
A = Annuity
i = rate of interest
n = number of years
Substituting the values, we get:
Step 2: Find amount of withdrawal using present value of annuity formula, taking $562,873 as present value of annuity.
Where,
PVA = Present value of annuity
A = Annuity or withdrawal amount
i = Interest rate in decimal form
n = Number of years
We can round it off to $50,000 per year.
Therefore, the answer is d. $50,000
