1. (8pts)Supposewedeterminethatweneed$30,000eachyeartoliveoninretirement.Suppose our investment portfolio earns 8% each year (compounded annually).

To account for MER in the calculations below, subtract the MER from the annual rate of return (as we did in class).

1. (a) If we follow the 4% rule, then how much money do we need to retire? Hint: You should get $750, 000 as your answer.

2. (b) If the annual MER on our investment portfolio is 2.5%, then how much would we need to invest today to earn enough money to retire in 30 years? (Assuming we dont invest any more after today.)

3. (c) If the annual MER on our investment portfolio is 0.15%, then how much would we need to invest today to earn enough money to retire in 30 years? (Assuming we dont invest any more after today.)

4. (d) If the annual MER on our investment portfolio is 2.5%, then how much would we need to invest each year to earn enough to retire in 30 years?
