You plan to retire in 19 years. At the point of retirement, you want to be able to withdraw 32,877 at the end of each year forev

xz_007 [3.2K]

Since no any further contributions will be made to the retirement fund, the amount you need today is $172,014.

<h3>Calculation of Present Value and Present Value of a Perpetuity</h3>

The first step is to calculate the present value (PV) of the contribution at the point of retirement in 19 years using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of perpetuity as follows:

PV in 19 years = CF / R ............................................. (1)

Where;

PV in 19 years = Present value (PV) of the contribution at the point of retirement in 19 years = ?

CF = Cash flow or yearly expected withdrawal = $32,877

R = Rate of return after retirement = 5.02%, or 0.0502

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV in 19 years = $32,877 / 0.0502 = $654,920.3187251

The amount you need today can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ……………………………………………. (2)

Where;

PV = Present value or the amount you need today = ?

FV = Future value or PV in 19 years = $654,920.3187251

r = rate of return prior to retirement = 7.29%, or 0.0729

n = number of years = 19

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

PV = $654,920.3187251 / (1 + 0.0729)^19 = $654,920.3187251 / 3.80737505803714 = $172,013.607470218

Rounding to the nearest dollar, we have:

PV = $172,014

Therefore, the amount you need today is $172,014.

Masterson Company's budgeted production calls for 56,000 units in April and 52,000 units in May of a key raw material that costs

Aleks [24]

Answer:

Total cost= $101,380

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production for April= 56,000

Production for May= 52,000

The raw material costs $1.85 per unit.

Each month's ending raw materials inventory should equal 30% of the following month's budgeted materials. The April 1 inventory for this material is 16,800 units.

We need to determine the budgeted material purchases for April:

Purchases= production for April + ending inventory - beginning inventory

purchases= 56,000 + (52,000*0.3) - 16,800= 54,800 units

Total cost= 54,800*1.85= $101,380
