2. Sofia Kenin is thinking about a plan for retirement savings. She is 21 years old now and she would like to retire the day after her 65th birthday. Her plan is to invest $18,000 each year on her birthday. She plans to make her first investment on her 25th birthday and her last investment on her 65th birthday. She expects her retirement account to earn 6% each year.
How much more would she have in her account after she makes the investment on her 65th birthday if, instead of investing $18,000 on each birthday from her 25th through her 65th, she invested $1,500 monthly beginning on her 25th birthday?
3. Kerber is considering buying a tennis school from Navratilova who wants to sell it and retire. Navratilova is asking for a $1,000,000 payment at the sale date, and a five-year payout consisting of $150,000 at the end of the first and second years after the sale date and $233,333 at the end of the third, fourth and fifth years after the sale date. If Kerber agrees to Navratilova’s terms, and she believes that 10% is an appropriate discount rate, how much does Kerber need today in order to pay Navratilova for the tennis school?
