Question 11

Ishan and Hazel plan to retire at age 60 with a retirement income of $48,000 a year from their savings.Rather than pay themselves the whole amount at the beginning of each year, they have decided that payment at the beginning of each quarter of $12,000 gives them the right balance of flexibility and maximized interest earnings.They feel they can safely earn an interest rate of 6.5%, compounded quarterly, on their money and they are budgeting based on the prediction that they will live until they are 90 years old.

How much money will they have to have saved by the time they are 60 in order to reach their retirement goal?

If the same total calculated above was to be saved, but no interest earned whatsoever, how much would be available to live on each quarter?

If the full 30 years are lived and quarterly budget spent, how much money in total will have been utilized in retirement?

How much will have been earned in interest?

QUESTION 16

Hak Young is daunted by that monthly payment amount and is trying to figure out how he can make paying off his loan more manageable.He went his bank and found out he could get a personal loan that he could then use to pay off his credit card.The personal loan has an interest rate of 10.75% compounded monthly.

Assuming he still planned to pay off his debt in 5 years, what would his monthly payments to the bank be now?

What will be the total interest paid?
