Bill and Lisa Hahn have determined that they will need a monthly income of $6,000
during retirement. They expect to receive Social Security retirement benefits amounting
to $3,500 per month at the beginning of each month. Over the 12 remaining years of
their preretirement period, they expect to generate an average annual after-tax
investment return of 8%; during their 25-year retirement period, they want to assume a
6% annual after-tax investment return compounded monthly. They want to start their
monthly retirement withdrawals on the first day they retire.
What is the lump sum needed at the beginning of retirement to fund this income
stream? - ANSWER✔✔-The monthly retirement income need is not specified as "today's
dollars," and no inflation rate specified; therefore, it must be assumed that the $2,500 net
monthly income need represents retirement dollars, and the retirement period income
stream is level. To calculate the lump sum needed at the beginning of retirement,
discount the stream of monthly income payments at the investment return rate:
