Explanation / Answer

Additional income needed per year = 97,514 - 71,000 = $26,514

Real return = 8% - 2% = 6%

Amount they need at retirement can be calculated using PV function

N = 25, I/Y = 6%, PMT = 26,514, FV = 0 => Compute PV = $338,937.91

is the total amount they would need in today's dollar at retirement to completely fund their income shortfall.
