Answer:

he should withdraw $1,252.5 each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

Initial deposit (P) = $5,000

n = 5

i = 8%

Now the withdrawal amount is

AW = P(A/P, i, n)

= $5,000 (A/P, 8%, 5)

= $5,000(0.2505)

= $1,252.5

Therefore, he should withdraw $1,252.5 each year.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered
