Upon retirement, Juanita moves her whole retirement account into a new account earning 4.7% annually. If Juanita wishes to withdraw from her account quarterly and she plans on her retirement account lasting for 20 years, what amount can she withdraw each quarter?
Let the whole retirement Amount after retirement be X. Now we need to find the fraction of this X that could be withdrawn each quarter for 20*4 = 80 quarters. The present value of those 80 cashflows would be X. Therefore each payment value is computed as:
Therefore about 1.92% of the whole retirement account could be withdrawn each quarter for 20 years.
