Problem 39:
You have just turned 30 years old, have just received your MBA, and have accepted your first job. Now you must decide how much money to put into your RRSP. Your RRSP works as follows: Every dollar in the plan earns 7% per year. You cannot make withdrawals until your 65th birthday. After that point, you can make withdrawals as you see fit. You decide that you will plan to live to 100 and work until you turn 65. You estimate that to live comfortably in retirement, you will need $100,000 per year starting at the end of the first year of retirement (i.e., when you turn 66) and ending on your 100th birthday. You will contribute the same amount to the plan at the end of every year that you work. How much do you need to contribute each year to fund your retirement?
**please list out step by step actions, please show the formulas used, please DONT USE excel**
Problem 40:
* Problem 39 is not very realistic because most people do not contribute a fixed amount to their RRSP each year. Instead, you would prefer to contribute a fixed percentage of your salary each year. Assume that your starting salary is $75,000 per year and it will grow 2% per year until you retire. Assuming everything else stays the same as in Problem 39, what percentage of your income do you need to contribute to the plan every year to fund the same retirement income?

2. Artie Siegel, an MBA student, has been having problems balancing his checkbook. His monthly income is derived from a graduate research assistantship; however, he also makes extra money in most months by tutoring undergraduates in their quantitative analysis course. His historical chances of various income levels are shown in the following table:
|
Monthly Income* ($) |
Probability |
|
350 |
0.40 |
|
400 |
0.20 |
|
450 |
0.30 |
|
500 |
0.10 |
*Assume that this income is received at the beginning of each month.
Siegel’s expenditures also vary from month to month, and he estimates that they will follow this distribution:
|
Monthly Expenses ($) |
Probability |
|
300 |
0.10 |
|
400 |
0.45 |
|
500 |
0.30 |
|

0.15 |
He begins his final year with $600 in his checking account. Simulate the entire year (12 months) on the next page and discuss Siegel’s financial picture, i.e., will he be able to keep his head above water--(out of debt)? What is his expected average profit for the 12 months? Use the random numbers below.

Sam, a friend of Ken and Anna (married couple) has recommended that they set up a Self Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF), as it will provide them with “better returns”. Sam has suggested that the SMSF purchase a property and that Karunesh and Asha can live in that property and pay the rent directly to the SMSF by making tax-deductible salary sacrifice contributions.
1. Does an SMSF provide better investment returns than an industry or retail fund? Provide a detailed explanation for your answer and quote and explain any relevant statistics that you may have sourced to support your argument.
2. List the amount and type of fees that Ken and Anna pay, in the first year, to set up and maintain their SMSF. What is the amount of GST that will be applicable on these fees? Cleary show all your workings.
3. Ken and Anna seek your advice on the recommendation provided by their friend Sam. In relation to this, what advice would you provide to them and why? Clearly list any breaches of relevant codes and/or legislations.
4. Tren, another friend of Ken and Anna, suggest that they should purchase an investment property via an SMSF structure. The property can be rented out to a tenant. Tom suggests rolling over all their existing superannuation’s and setting up an SMSF. The property is listed on the market for $550,000. Tren further suggests, that they set up another company as a corporate trustee to assist in this process. Assuming that they purchase it for that price
i. Clearly list and place an approximate dollar value on all other relevant incidental and additional costs associated with purchasing this property via the SMSF structure described above
ii. Explain to Ken and Anna, how they could go about this process – i.e. how to purchase the property via the SMSF via a loan etc. Support your explanation with a diagram or flow chart depicting the process.
5. What are the pros and cons of setting up a corporate trustee as opposed to Ken and Anna being individual trustees of their SMSF?
6. In relation to the above:
i. Explain LBRA to Ken and Anna
ii. What interest rate could their SMSF obtain for the property loan and how does this compare with a loan for a similar property that was the outside superannuation? (You will need to research existing home loans and interest rates for this purpose – clearly provide your sources and references!)
7. Assume the property generates a rental income of $600 per week net of associated costs. Based on their personal incomes and other details provided in the fact find:
i. Calculate the amount the clients would receive net of tax, if the property was acquired in their personal names (in joint ownership).
ii. Now calculate this with how much they would receive if the property were acquired via their SMSF.
Assume this is for the period July 1 2019 to 30 June 2020 only
