Explanation / Answer

2) Anuual Retirement Payament ;-

= 1.2% * 15 * $95000

= $17100

3) Present Value of the retirement annuity as of the retirement date:-

= $17100 * 8.75563*

= $149721

*(Present Value of an ordinary annuity of $1, n = 18, i = 9% (from Table)

Present Value of the retirement benefits at the end of 2018 :-

= $149721 * 0.17843**

= $26715

**Present Value of $1, n = 20, i = 9% (from table)

4) Annual Retirement Payament = $17100

Present Value of the retirement annuity as of the retirement date = $149721

Present Value of the retirement benefits at the end of 2021 :-

= $149721 * 0.23107***

= $34596

***Present Value of $1, n = 17, i = 9% (from table)
