Thread: Present Annuity

Well I'm not really a finance guy but my sister is. So, she have a problem in one of her questions. Can you guys help me in solving it please. I kinda told her that her work will be done because I have some special friends.
Here's the question:

Today is your 50th birthday, and you anticipate that you will continue working untilyour65th birthday. You currently have $50,000 in a bank account and $200,000 in shares.Youplan to add to these savings by the following annual increments:

i. depositing $2,000 a year for 10 years, and then $4,000 per year, into your bankaccount, the first deposit to be made today, and the last on your 65th birthday;

ii. adding $6000 to your share portfolio today, and increasing this amount by 4% perannum with the last addition on your 65th birthday.

The bank account is expected to earn 5% per annum, and the share portfolio 12% perannum.On your retirement aged 65, you intend to deposit all your savings into an investmentaccount that will earn 10% per annum.

In answering the following questions, students should use the annuity functions.

a) What is the value of your savings on your 65th birthday (after you have madeyour annual deposit)?

b) If you expect to live for 20 years after your retirement, how much can you withdraweach year after retirement (20 equal withdrawals beginning one year after youretire) to end up with a zero balance on your anticipated demise?

Please guys help me out here.... Thank You so much...
