Question: Case 1 Example: ALL WORK MUST BE SHOWN FOR CREDIT! Client Name Joe Slick Age 24 years until retirement 20 (Should use an even number)

Case 1 Example: ALL WORK MUST BE SHOWN FOR CREDIT!
Client Name Joe Slick
Age 24
years until retirement 20 (Should use an even number)
years in retirement 55
inflation assumption 0.03
return during savings 0.11
return during retirement 0.08
current income 35000
current retirement savings 5000
annual contribution to retirement :
first half of years to retirement 500
second half of years to retirement 20000
How much will your client have on day he/she retires?
How much will client be able to withdraw each year of retirement if he/she wants equal payments every year and wants to leave nothing to hiers?
Using the assumed rate of inflation, what is the annual amount drawn the first year, (solution b) worth today?
Comment on your client's ability to live on this amount in retirement.
Basic comment: It's less, almost half, of what he's living on now.
How much will client be able to withdraw each year of retirement, if client wants to leave an amount equal to 20% of starting amount on day retires (so 20% of part a), to hiers upon his death which he assumes will be the last day of his projected retirement?
Now create a worst case scenerio for your client. You are now half way to saving for retirement:
Assume the returns for the first half of the savings period are 2% less than assumed above,

and the client only put away half of what was assumed.

How much will the client have to now save per year to save to the orginal amount found in part a, assuming the rate goes back to the assumed return during savings?
If your client states that saving the amount calculated in part e is much too high an amount to save, comment what else your client could do.
