Answer is $32,040
Annual Spending = $130,000
Interest Rate = 5%
Period after retirement = 35 years
Amount required at retirement = $130,000 * PVIFA(5%, 35)
Amount required at retirement = $130,000 * (1 - (1/1.05)^35) /
0.05
Amount required at retirement = $130,000 * 16.3742
Amount required at retirement = $2,128,646
Period to retirement = 30 years
Annual Deposit * FVIFA(5%, 30) = $2,128,646
Annual Deposit * (1.05^30 - 1) / 0.05 = $2,128,646
Annual Deposit * 66.43885 = $2,128,646
Annual Deposit = $32,040
