If he makes equal annual payments into savings account that pays 4% interest per year, how large must his payments be to enure that after retirement he will be able to draq $30,000 per year from this account until he is 80?

Answer 1

- (1/.04) (1-(1/1.04^15) = 11.118387

- 30,000 x 11.1183 = $333,551.62

- 333,551.62 / 29.778 = $11,201.27
