Instructions          

(a) Compute the amount Alan would withdraw assuming the investment earns simple interest.          

(b) Compute the amount Alan would withdraw assuming the investment earns interest compounded annually.

Clarence Weatherspoon, a super salesman contemplating retirement on his fifty-fifth birthday, decides to create a fund on an 8% basis that will enable him to withdraw $20,000 per year on June 30, beginning in 2018 and continuing through 2021. To develop this fund, Clarence intends to make equal contributions on June 30 of each of the years 2014–2017.

 

 

Instructions                  

(a) How much must the balance of the fund equal on June 30, 2017, in order for Clarence Weatherspoon to satisfy his objective?                  

b) what are each of Clarence's contributions to the fund                  

 

Question 3             

            

using the appropriate interest table, provide the solution to each of the following four questions by computing the unknowns. (Use the tables below.)  

  

            

What is the amount of the payments that Ned Winslow must make at the end of each of 8 years to accumulate a fund of $90,000 by the end of the 8th year, if the fund earns 8% interest, compounded annually? (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 458,581.)

 

 Robert Hitchcock is 40 years old today and he wishes to accumulate $500,000 by his 65th birthday so he can retire to his summer place on LakeHopatcong. He wishes to accumulate this amount by making equal deposits on his 40th through his 54th birthdays. What annual deposit must Robert make if the fund will earn 12% interest compounded annually? (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 458,581.)
