Answer:
Amount withdraw each year = $ 186,991.24
Explanation:
Amount accumulate at the time of retirement = FV of Current Investment in Bond + FV of Current Investment in Stock + FV of annuity deposited in bond
Amount accumulate at the time of retirement = 162000 x (1+7.5%)^10 + 602000 x (1+11%)^10 + 7800 x ((1+7.5%)^10 -1) / 7.5%
Amount accumulate at the time of retirement = $ 2,153,565.83
Amount withdraw each year = Amount accumulate at the time of retirement/Annuity factor
Amount withdraw each year = 2153565.83 / ((1-(1+6.75%)^-23) / 6.75%)
Amount withdraw each year = $ 186,991.24
