Multiperiod Consumption-Saving Plan Assume a person is 35 years old and plans to retire at age 65. So s/he has 30 more years to work.

Multiperiod Consumption-Saving Plan

Assume a person is 35 years old and plans to retire at age 65.

So s/he has 30 more years to work.

Assume the following additional information apply:

 

Annual (real) income = $40,000    
Real interest rate = 5%

Expected live after retirement = 20 years

Desired retirement income = 75% of pre-retirement income = $30,000

Prepare lifetime consumption-savings schedule for the person.

 

First calculate how much s/he should have at retirement in order to consume

$30,000 per year for 20 more years.

This is the PV of annuity of $30,000

over 20 years at interest rate of 5%.

 

30,000* (PVIFAs°20) = $373,866.31.

This amount is also equal to the future value of what s/he should save over her/his remaining 30 working years.

 

(Annual saving)* (FVIFAS9,30) = $373,866.31. Solve for annual saving and you will get $5,627.22.
