Question

Bilbo Baggins wants to save money to meet three objectives. First, he would like to be able to retire 30 years from now with a retirement income of $28,500 per month for 20 years, with the first payment received 30 years and 1 month from now. Second, he would like to purchase a cabin in Rivendell in 10 years at an estimated cost of $365,000. Third, after he passes on at the end of the 20 years of withdrawals, he would like to leave an inheritance of $1,225,000 to his nephew Frodo. He can afford to save $3,000 per month for the next 10 years. If he can earn a EAR of 11 percent before he retires and a EAR of 8 percent EAR after he retires, how much will he have to save each month in years 11 through 30? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Explanation / Answer

if he saves 3000 per month for next ten years his savings will be $36,000X 17.549= $631,764,000 (approximately)

his total needed amount is = $28500X12X20=$6,840,000

cabin of Rivendell= $$365,000

after 20 years withdrews the remained amount should be= $1,225,000

total= $8,430,000

his total receivables are much higher than needed ones, so he can fulfill all his obligations with the savings only
