To supplement other sources of retirement income, he can deposit $2,500 each year into a tax-deferred individual retirement arrangement (IRA). The IRA will earn a return of 12% over the next 30 years. a. If Hal makes end-of-year $2,500 deposits into the IRA, how much will he have accumulated in 30 years when he turns 65? b. If Hal decides to wait until age 45 to begin making end-of-year $2,500 deposits into the IRA, how much will he have accumulated when he retires 20 years later? c. Using your findings in parts a and b, discuss the impact of delaying deposits into the IRA for 10 years (age 35 to age 45) on the amount accumulated by the end of Hal's 65th year. d.
