Solution For Part 4 of Retirement Planning Module : 1. First find the PV of cash flow series (i.e 15000pm from year 65 to 75 in total 10 years of post Retirement. Pmt = 15000, N= 10, I = {(1.07/1.04)-1} this is nothing but Inflation adjusted return, End Mode Comp Pv = 1562027 Second Part is the Saving of 30000 pa. Pmt= -30000, N= 25, I= 7, Comp FV = 18,97,471 2. Step 1. to find FV of current spending @325000 p.a after 15 year inflation @ 4% Pv = -325000, N= 15, I = 4%, Comp Fv = 585307 Step 2. To Find PV of cash flow series (i.e 585307 pa from year 45 to 85 in total 40 years of post Retirement.) Pmt = -585307, N= 40, I = {(1.07/1.04)-1} this is nothing but Inflation adjusted return, End mode, Comp PV = 13785170. Step 3. Find FV of Current Invt. Pv = -10,00,000, N = 15 , I= 7%, Comp Fv = 27,59,032 Step 4. To find Saving require to achieve his goal. The amount require would be difference between 13785170 – 2759032 = 11026138 The saving per year would be. Fv = 11026138, N= 15, I= 7, Comp Pmt = 438780. 3. FV of Current Saving. Pmt = -15000 , N= 28, I= 8.25% , Comp Fv= 1491655. Amount that can be withdrawn will be : Pv = 1491655, N= 22, I= {(1.0825/1.05)-1} this is nothing but Inflation adjusted return, BGN mode , Comp PMt = 91613.

4. Pmt = -55000, N= 25year*12mth, I= (1.06/1.04)-1, Comp PV= 13091516 Saving Part : Fv = 13091516, N= 25, I= 6, Comp Pmt= 238615 5. Pmt = -25000, N= 20*12, I= (1.08/1.05)-1, Comp Pv = 4566431. Pmt = -48000, N = 25, I= 8, Comp Fv= 3509085. 6. First Part : Pmt= -45000, N= 10, I= 9, Comp Fv = 683682 Second Part : Pmt =-72000, I= 12, N= 15, Pv = -683682, Comp Fv= 64.26 Lakh. 7. First Part : Pmt= -10000, N=30, I=8, Comp Fv= 1132832 Second PaRT, find the PV of the estate which he leave behind Fv =200000, N= 20, I= (1.08/1.06)-1, Comp Pv = 137617 For Withdrawal part , we have to Get difference amount Fv of part 1 & Pv of part 2 Which comes to 995215.This the amount available for withdrawal. Third Part : Pv = -995215, I= (1.08/1.06 )-1, N= 20, BGN Mode, Comp Pmt= 59087.

8.The Q8 Is very Imp from Examination Point of View. These question can be Solved with the help os a Formula, which is A{(1+r)^n- (1+g)^n / r - g} First Part : Saving Element is 10% of Annual Earning Which is 300000*10%= 30000 30000{(1.06)^30 – (1.05)^30 / .06 - .05} = 4264650. If he Prepones his retirement to 55 years then Future Service period 55-30= 25 years But he wants the same accumulated amount of Rs.4264650 as calculated above at his early retirement age of 55 years. Let ‘ X’ be the amount of saving in the first , increasing thereafter by 5% every year Then 4264650= X { (1.06)^25 – (1.05)^25 / .06 - .05} X= 4264650/90.552 X= 47096.14 This amount of Rs. 47096.14 will have to be saved during the first year, Since the salary will increase by 5% every year , this saving amount will also increase. Saving as % of the current salary (47096 / 300000)*100 15.70% 9. For the person covered under POGA 1972, Gratuity will be calculated as 10500*15/26*30 = 181730 Therefore from tax exemption is Rs.181730

10. Pv = -72000, N= 7, I= 5, Comp Fv = 101311 Pv= -101311, N= 3*2, I= 5/2, Comp Fv= 117489.97 Pv= -117489.97, N= 5*4, I= 6/4, Comp Fv= 158241.95 11. Senior Citizen Scheme @9%. For the maximum amount to be invested is 185000 – 120000 = 65000. Therefore to earn 65000 pa @ 9% he need to invest 722000 in SSS. 13.As per solution No.7
