Explanation / Answer

1.     I need $ 120,000 five years from now. I can invest at 12%. If I have to invest some amount now, how much do I need to invest?

Amount to be invested = 120000/(1.12)^5 = $68091.22

How much can I withdraw from my account every year?

Amount to be withdrawn each year= 50000/PVIFA(10%,5) = 50000/3.7908 = $13189.87
