cupoosta [38]

Timeline:

deposits of 444 for 20 years =   withdrawals of X for 15 years

   <-----/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/---\\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\->

future value of his deposits = present value of his withdrawals

   

We first need to get the future value of the retirement account

and then the PMT this fund can do.

<u>deposits future value:</u>

C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\

C $ 444

time    240 (20 years x 12 months er year)

rate 0.003333333 ( 0.04 annual rate / 12 months = monthly rate)

444 \times \frac{(1+0.003333333)^{240} -1}{0.003333333} = FV\\

FV $162,847.9340

<u>withdrawals PMT:</u>

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV  $162,847.93

time 180

rate 0.005

162847.93 \div \frac{1-(1+0.005)^{-180} }{0.005} = C\\

C  $ 1,374.203
