Question:

6. Calculating an IRA Accumulation. Janine is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $5,000 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 8 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65. Janine estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional

$15,000 a year). How much will Janine’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires? ( Hint: Use Exhibit A–1 in the appendix to Chapter 1.) (Obj. 5)
