Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) a. How much must you need saved once you reach retirement. $ b. how much must you save each year until retirement to meet your retirement goal

Answer 1

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the money required at the time of retirement:

FV= 240,000*25= $6,000,000

Now, using the following formula, we can determine the annual investment:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (6,000,000*0.039) / {[(1.039^17) - 1]

A= $255,373.88
