ll.It is time to start saving for your retirement. You are 40 years old and want to retire when you turn 60. You will deposit $1,000 into an RRSP at the beginning of every month for 20 years. You will then use the accumulated funds to purchase a 15-year annuity with the first withdrawal one
month after your 60th birthday. Assume that the RRSP earns 7% compounded monthly, and the funds invested in the annuity earn 5% compounded monthly.
- Find the size of the monthly withdrawals.
- You decide that you will need at least $5,000 per month to live on when you retire at age 60. How much extra money must you contribute to your RRSP each month so you can withdraw $5,000 every month for 15 years?
