WORKSHEET 4.3-Saving for the Goal of Retirement Look at your long-term goals from Chapter 1. Is there a set age that you want to retire? Complete the following worksheet based on your desired age for retirement Number ofyears from retirement: Ct Desired amount in retirement savings: 9- Given a 5% annual interest rate, use the FVIFA table or formula to calculate how much money you need to save per year Given a 7% annual interest rate, use the FVIFA table or formula to calculate how much money you Given a 10% annual interest rate, use the FVIFA table or formula to calculate how much money you to save Plan of action, given these findings:

Explanation / Answer

According to the information :
Number of years for retirement = Number of periods n = 31 years
Desired amount at the end of retirement or at the end of 31 years = $2.2 million

a) Interest rate r = 5%
FVIFA ( Future value interest factor Annuity) = [(1+r)n-1] / r
   = [(1+0.05)31-1 / 0.05
      = [ (1.05)31 -1 / 0.05
      = [4.5380 -1] / 0.05
= 70.7608
PMT ( Or payment made each year) = Expected retirement value/ FVIFA
   = 2200000/70.7608
   = $31090.66

Every year savings of $31090.66 is required to get a retirement amount of 2.2 million at 5% interest rate.

b) Similarly for 7 %
FVIFA = [(1+r)n-1] / r
= [(1+0.07)31-1] / 0.07
      = [8.1451-1] / 0.07
   = 102.0730
PMT = 2200000 / 102.0730
      = $21553.202
Every year savings of $21553.202 is required to get a retirement amount of 2.2 million at 7% interest rate.

c) For 10 %
FVIFA = [(1+r)n-1] / r
= [(1+0.10)31-1] / 0.10
      = [19.19434-1] / 0.1
      = 18.19434/0.10
      = 181.9434

PMT = 2200000/ 181.9434
   = $12091.672

Every year savings of $12091.672 is required to get a retirement amount of 2.2 million at 10% interest rate.
