A deposit of $10,000 is made a year from now, a second deposit of $10,000 is made at the end of the year 5, and a deposit of $3000 is made at the end of year 8. The account earns 6% interest. You want to withdraw an equal amount, X at the end of each year for the next 10 years. What is the amount of X if the goal is to empty the account?
Step 1) Calculate the Future value of all the three deposits at the end of year 8
Now we need to calculate the annuity payments that have a PV equal to 29946.46
We are given the following information:
Annual payment | PMT | To be calculated |
rate of interest | r | 6.00% |
number of years | n | 10 |
Present value | PV | $ 29,946.46 |
We need to solve the following equation to arrive at the
required PMT
So annual withdrawal can be of $4068.76 for the account to hold 0 balance at the end
