Question

Assume that you will be opening a savings account today by depositing $100,000. The savings account pays 5 percent compound annual interest, and this rate is assumed to remain in effect for all future periods. Four years from today you will withdraw R dollars. You will continue to make additional annual withdrawals of R dollars for a while longer – making your last withdrawal at the end of year 9 – to achieve the following pattern of cash flows over time. (Note: Today is time period zero; one year from today is the end of time period 1; etc.) How large must R be to leave you with exactly a zero balance after your final R withdrawal is made at the end of year 9? (Tip: Making use of an annuity table or formula will make your work a lot easier!)

Answer 1

Answer:

5000

Explanation:

100,000x5%= 5000

5000x4 years= 20,000x5%= 1000

5000x5=25,000x5%= 1250

1250+ 1000= 2250

R= 1750

5000-2250-1000= 1750
