David is a 45-year-old land surveyor who works for the City of Whitehorse council, while his
wife Belinda is a human resources consultant at Monash University. Due to Belindas
employment at Monash University, both David and Belinda have their superannuation accounts
with UniSuper. David is a risk taker, so he chooses the Growth investment strategy for his
superannuation money while Belinda invests her super in the Conservative investment option.
The couple shares a portfolio of assets comprising of equity in ANZ and BHP as well as a
studio apartment in Bayswater that Belinda inherited from her grandfather. The couple live in
a 3-bedroom mortgaged house in Clayton and are paying off the mortgage using their salaried
income. Apart from the mortgage payments, they have a range of other living expenses leaving
them with a small combined annual saving. Here are both Belinda and Davids client profiles: Client Profile Belinda Tang:
age >42
annual income >95,000
superannuation balance >88000
super performance (5 years)>4%
super contribution rate >17%
average income tax rate >26%
expected annual saving rate >6%
Combined Assets:
ANZ shares >10,000
BHP shares >15000
Studio apartment >300000
Rental yeild >4%
ANZ historical return inc div >5.29%
BHP historical return inc div >11.80% What is David and Belindas total combined wealth comprising of superannuation
balances, savings, share portfolio and real estate at the time of their retirement?
ii. Both David and Belinda are union members, and their salary increases are protected by
their respective enterprise bargaining agreements which guarantee them a salary
increase of 3% per annum. How would their total combined wealth change when the
annual salary increases are accounted for?
Note from Clive: Their super balances can be calculated using the respective current 5-year
return on investment. The value of the shares can be calculated using their respective historical
returns, the rental income and their annual savings after tax can be invested at an assumed rate
of 4.5% per annum, the expected capital appreciation on the studio apartment is 5% per annum.
Despite the capital increase on the studio apartment, the annual rent stays the same which is
calculated as the current value of the studio apartment multiplied by the rental yield. Include
the following table in your report and clearly state all assumptions. how do we calculate these numerically, I am mixing up the formulas and don't think I am doing these correctly. Thank you
