Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You have 45 years left until retirement and want to retire with $4 million. Your salary is paid annually, and you will receive $50,000 at the end of the current year. Your salary will increase at 3 percent per year, and you can earn an annual return of 9 percent on the money you invest.
n= 45
FV= 4,000,000
i= 9% + 3%= 12%
We need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (4,000,000*0.12)/{(1.12^45)-1}= $2,945
5.89% per year.
