Answer #1

1. Calculation of Present value of Fee required at Time 8.

PV =

= 16000 + 15740.7407 + 15432.0988 + 15082.8126

PV = 62255.6521

2. Calculate the Fv of $4000 from time 5 to time 8.

= 4000(1.08)3 = 5038.8480

3. Net Amount required = 62255.6521 - 5038.8480 = 57216.8081

4. Annual contribution required

FV =Annuity + Annuity x cumulative annuity factor @ 8% for 7 years

57216.8081 = Annuity x ( 1+ 9.636627)

Annuity = 57216.8081 / 10.636627

Annuity = 5379.22
