1-You have $162,000 in your retirement account that is earning 8% per year. How many dollars in withdrawals per year would reduce this nest egg to zero in 20 years?

2-Your employer provides a 401(k) plan with a matching contribution of 5% of your salary if you put in at least 5% of your salary.

Answer #1

1)

Present value of annuity= payment per period * [1-(1+i)^-n]/i  

i = interest rate per period

n = number of periods

=>

withdrawal * [1-(1+8%)^-20]/8% = 162000

=>

withdrawals per year = 16500.06

2)

monthly contribution = 4850 * 5%

= 242.5
