Graham Bell has just retired after 30 years with the telephone company. His total pension funds have an accumulated value of $400,000, and his life expectancy is 16 more years. His pension fund manager assumes he can earn a 10 percent return on his assets.

Explanation / Answer

The Principle amount =$ 400000

Intrest rate =10%

No years to maturity=16 years

so the maturity value =400000(1+ 10%)16 => 400000(1.10)16 =>400000*4.595=1838000

Annuity for 16 years would be =1838000/16=$ 114,875

so $ 114,875 is his annuity for next 16 years
