QUESTION6 You invest in a company that is offering a 7 retur
Solution
Question 6
Yearly deposits = $8,500
Deposit for 25 years.
Return of investment = 7%
Future Value at 25th year = $8,500 (F/A, 7%, 25)
Future Value at 25th year = $8,500 (63.2490)
Future Value at 25th year = $537,617
This amount at 25th year you decided to withdraw over a period of 30 years earning 7% rate of interest.
The withdrawal will be at the end of each year for 30 years.
Then the annual withdrawal over a period of 30 years
A = P (A/P, 7%, 30)
[Note – The future value at the end of 25th year as calculated above will be considered as P]
A = $537,617 (A/P, 7%, 30)
A = $537,617 (0.0806) = $43,332

6,000
5,500
As this is a gradient series, first compensate all the gradients and convert into uniform cash flow. Rate of interest is 7%.
A = A1 – G (A/G, 7%, 10)
A = 10,000 – 500 (3.9461)
A = 11,973
Future Value = A (F/A, 7%, 10)
Future Value = 11,973 (13.8164)
Future Value = 165,424

| Cash Flow | 10,000 | 9,500 | 9,000 | 8,500 | 8,000 | 7,500 | 7,000 | 6,500 | 6,000 | 5,500 |
