Tommy wishes to retire at the age of 67 with $95,000 in savings. Determine the monthly payment into an IRA if the APR is 6.8% and he begins making payments at:Step 1: 25 years oldThe next part is finding the answer for 35 years old



Answer :

Step 1

State the annuity formula

[tex]A=\frac{P[(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}-1]}{\frac{r}{n}}[/tex]

where;

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=? \\ r=6.8\text{\%=}\frac{6.8}{100}=0.068 \\ n=12 \\ t=67-25=42 \\ A=\text{ \$95000} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2

Find the monthly payment from 25 years old

[tex]95000=\frac{P[(1+\frac{0.068}{12})^{42\times12}-1]}{\frac{0.068}{12}}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{0.068P\left[\left(1+\frac{0.068}{12}\right)^{42\times \:12}-1\right]}{\frac{0.068}{12}}=95000\times \:0.068 \\ 195.02614P=6460 \\ \frac{195.02614P}{195.02614}=\frac{6460}{195.02614} \\ P=33.1237639 \\ P\approx\text{ \$}33.12 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 3

Find the monthly payment from 35 years old

[tex]\begin{gathered} 95000=\frac{P[(1+\frac{0.068}{12})^{32\times12}-1]}{\frac{0.068}{12}} \\ n=67-35=32 \\ \frac{P\left[\left(1+\frac{0.068}{12}\right)^{32\times \:12}-1\right]}{\frac{0.068}{12}}=95000 \\ \frac{0.068P\left[\left(1+\frac{0.068}{12}\right)^{32\times \:12}-1\right]}{\frac{0.068}{12}}=95000\times \:0.068 \\ 93.08447P=6460 \\ P=69.39933 \\ P=\text{\$69.40} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer;

[tex]\text{ \$69.40}[/tex]
