Explanation / Answer

Q1)

Amount Required at the time of Retirement = Annual Withdrawl required*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r

Amount Required at the time of Retirement = 80000*(1-(1+7%)^-24)/7%

Amount Required at the time of Retirement = $ 917,546.72

Amount should I expect to pay for this financial product today = Amount Required at the time of Retirement /(1+r)^n

Amount should I expect to pay for this financial product today = 917546.72/(1+7%)^15

Amount should I expect to pay for this financial product today = $ 332,561.16
