1. Using the capital utilization approach, calculate the capital needed at retirement (age 67) for the Joneses. Assume a 9% after-tax rate of return. Base the calculation on Harry\'s salary only, using a 70% wage replacement ratio.
Other facts:
Harry is 35(retirement in 32 years at age 67)
Harry\'s income is $170,000
70% of that income would be $119,000(today\'s dollar)
Life expectancy is age 92(25 years post retirement)
9% after-tax rate of return
Inflation will average 3% annually
Educational consumer price index (CPI) of 5%
Harry\'s salary is expected to increase 3% annually
They are in a 24% federal income tax bracket and 6% state income tax bracket
They do not want to include social security in this calculation
I got it started, but I am not sure if this is right:
PV = $119,000
I/YR =3%
N =32
