Larry is 58 and wants to retire by age 65. He expects that he will live to age 95. He currently has a salary of $140,000 and expects that he will need about 72% of that amount annually if he were retired. He can earn 9 percent in his portfolio while he is working. However, he expects that he will only earn 7 percent in his portfolio during retirement because he will adjust his asset allocation so that his portfolio is more conservative. He expects inflation to continue at 3 percent. Larry currently has $800,000 invested for his retirement. His Social Security benefit in today’s dollars is $24,000 per year, assuming a retirement of age 65. He just calculated what he needs to save each year and it is more than he can afford. Which of the following is his best alternative to achieve his retirement goals? A. Modify his portfolio during retirement to achieve an 8% rate of return instead of a 7% rate of return. B. Delay his retirement by 2 years. C. Reduce his expected needs by $10,000 in today’s dollars. D. None of the above will help him achieve his goals.

Lynn Price recently completed her MBA and accepted a job with an electronics manufacturing company. Although she likes her job, she is also looking forward to retiring one day. To ensure that her retirement is comfortable, she intends to invest $3,000 of her salary into a tax-sheltered retirement fund at the end of each year. Lynn is not certain what rate of return this investment will earn each year, but she expects each year's rate of return could be modeled appropriately as a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 12.5% and standard deviation of 2%. If Lynn is 30 years old now, how much money should she expect to have in her retirement fund at age 60? (1 point) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average amount Lynn will have at age 60. (1 point) What is the probability that Lynn will have more than $1 million in her retirement fund when she reaches age 60? (1 point) How much should Lynn invest each year if she wants there to be a 90% chance of having at least $1 million in her retirement fund at age 60? (1 point) Suppose Lynn contributes $3,000 annually to her retirement fund for eight years and then terminates her annual contributions. How much of her salary would she have contributed to this retirement plan and how much money could she expect to have accumulated at age 60? (1.5 points) excel solutions
