- How much will she have at 70? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$
- She expects to live for 20 years if she retires at 65 and for 15 years if she retires at 70. If her investments continue to earn the same rate, how much will she be able to withdraw at the end of each year after retirement at each retirement age? Do not round intermediate calculations.

9: Problem 5.25 (Future Value of an Annuity)
Find the future values of the following ordinary annuities:
- FV of $800 paid each 6 months for 5 years at a nominal rate of 15% compounded semiannually. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

$
- These annuities receive the same amount of cash during the 5-year period and earn interest at the same nominal rate, yet the annuity in part b ends up larger than the one in part a. Why does this occur? -Select-The nominal deposits into the annuity in part (b) are greater than the nominal deposits into the annuity in part (a).The annuity in part (a) is compounded less frequently; therefore, more interest is earned on previously-earned interest.The annuity in part (a) is compounded more frequently; therefore, more interest is earned on previously-earned interest.The annuity in part (b) is compounded less frequently; therefore, more interest is earned on previously-earned interest.The annuity in part (b) is compounded more frequently; therefore, more interest is earned on previously-earned interest.Item 3
