Compute the value of the retirement plan

Reference no: EM13268441

Consider a person who begins contributing to a retirement plan at age 25 and contributes for 40 years until retirement at age 65. For the first ten years, she contributes $3,000 per year. She increases the contribution rate to $5,000 per year in years 11 through 20. This is followed by increases to $10,000 per year in years 21 through 30 and to $15,000 per year for the last ten years. This money earns a 9 percent return. First compute the value of the retirement plan when she turns age 65. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Compute the annual payment she would receive over the next 40 years if the wealth was converted to an annuity payment at 8 percent.
