After some calculations, you realize that your inflation -
adjusted retirement income shortfall is $44, 244 per
year. You anticipate that once you retire, you will be
retired for 36 years. How much at a minimum should
you have saved at the time of your retirement, if you
estimate that your 60/40 equity/debt retirement
portfolio will have a real (net of inflation) return of
5.29% on average? For simplicity, assume that once you
retire you will be withdrawing the necessary amount
from your portfolio at the end of each year.
To live comfortably in retirement, you decide you will need to save $2 million by the time you
are 65 (you are 30 years old today). You will start a new retirement savings account today and
contribute the same amount of money on every birthday up to and including your 65th
birthday. Using TVM principles, how much must you set aside each year to make sure that you
hit your target goal if the interest rate is 5%? What flaws might exist in your calculations, and
what variables could lead to different outcomes? What actions could you take ensure you
reach your target goal?
1. Assume that your father is now 50 years old, that he plans to retire in 10 years, and that he
expects to live for 25 years after he retires-that is, until age 85. He wants his first
retirement payment to have the same purchasing power at the time he retires as GH¢ 40,000
has today. He wants all of his subsequent retirement payments to be equal to his first
retirement payment. (Do not let the retirement payments grow with inflation: Your father
realizes that the real value of his retirement income will decline year by year after he
retires.) His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, and he
will then receive 24 additional annual payments. Inflation is expected to be 5% per year
from today forward. He currently has GH¢ 100,000 saved up; and he expects to earn a
return on his savings of 8% per year with annual compounding. To the nearest dollar, how
much must he save during each of the next 10 years (with equal deposits being made at the
end of each year,…

- Suppose that your retirement benefits during your first year of retirement are $60,000 per year which is just enough to meet your cost of living during the first year. However, your cost of living is expected to increase at an annual rate of 5% due to inflation. If there is no cost-of-living adjustment in your retirement pension, then some of your future living cost has to come from savings other than retirement pension. If your saving account earns 7% interest a year, how much should you set aside in order to meet this future increase in the cost of living for 25 years?
