You have inherited $25,000 and wish to purchase an ordinary annuity that will provide you with a steady income over the next 12 years. You have heard that the local savings and loan association is currently paying 6% compound interest on an annual basis. If you were to deposit your funds, what year-end equal-dollar amount would you be able to withdraw annually such that you would have a zero balance after your last withdrawal 12 years from now? [10 pts]
Information provided:
Present value= $25,000
Time= 12 years
Interest rate= 6%
Ordinary Annuity refers to an annuity that occurs at the end of the period.
The below is entered in a financial calculator to compute the ordinary annuity:
PV= 25,000
N= 12
I/Y= 6
Press the CPT key and PMT to compute the amount of ordinary annuity.
The value obtained is 2,981.93.
Therefore, $2,981.93 is withdrawn annually so that I would have zero balance after 12 years.
In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
