A.)

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 15 years. To do this, you will invest $650 per month into a stock account that will provide a 10% annual return. In addition, your employer has agreed to make 240 monthly payments of $200 each into a trust account to fund your retirement which will provide a 7% annual return. All payments will be made at the end of each month. At the end of 15 years, you will be paid 10 equal annual payments with the first payment being made at the beginning of year 16. The funds will be invested at a nominal rate of 5% with monthly compounding during the distribution period. How large will each of your 10 retirement period payments be?

B.)

If you invest a lump sum of $5,000 dollars of your own money now to supplement your stock account (same investment fund), how much will your annual payments be during your retirement years?
