Q1. Your firm decides to begin to fund a retirement pension for a new employee. The details of the pension plan are as follows: The employee is 30 years old; the pension fund will begin to make annual payments to the employee 20 years from the date when funding for the pension begins. When payments begin, the employee will receive quarterly payment for 15 years. The first quarterly payment will be $ 20,000, and each succeeding payment will grow by 2.5% (annual rate 10%). Money paid into the funds is assumed to earn constant 12% annual rate of return. The annual contributions your firm makes to the fund will grow at a 3%. a) As a financial manager, please determine how much you need to deposit now to get this pension plan in motion? b) If the return from the funds is lower than 12%, will the retirement pension be under-funded or over-funded? Why?

Steve, Carol, and Lisa get their first full-time jobs and talk about saving for retirement. They are each 22 years old and plan to work until they are 55. Steve starts investing immediately and puts aside $150 per month. Carol wants to enjoy life a bit and decides to start contributing when she is 30.

Carol and Lisa want to accumulate the same amount as Steve upon retirement. When they retire, Steve wants his investment to last 10 years, Carol wants hers to last 15 years, and Lisa wants hers to last 20 years. A. What strategies will you use to solve this problem?
