Question

Charlie Stone wants to retire in 35 years(he is currently 22) and be able to withdraw $250,000 per year for 15 years. Charlie wants to receive the first payment at the end of the 35th year. Using annual interest rate of 10%, how much should Charlie deposit at the end of each of the 35 years in order to achieve this goal? The answer is $7,717.65 but I am looking for an explaination of the problem and the steps to solve it.

Explanation / Answer

Present value of annuity due = P+P×[1-(1÷(1+r)^(n-1))]÷r

r is interest rate per period

P is payment per period

n is number of payments

= $250,000+$250,000×[1-(1÷(1+10%)^(15-1))]÷10%

= $2,091,671.86

Future value of annuity = P×[(1+r)^n-1]÷r

r is interest rate per period

P is payment per period

n is number of payments

$2,091,671.86 = P×[(1+10%)^35-1]÷10%

Annual deposit, P = $7,717.65
