- Suppose that Kate is 45 years old and has no retirement savings. She wants to begin saving for retirement, with the first payment coming one year from now. She can save $20,000 per year and will invest that amount in the stock market, where it is expected to yield an average annual return of 5.00% return. Assume that this rate will be constant for the rest of her's life. In short, this scenario fits all the criteria of an ordinary annuity. Kate would like to calculate how much money she will have at age 60. Use the following table to indicate which values you should enter on your financial calculator. For example, if you are using the value of 1 for N, use the selection list above N in the table to select that value.
