Starting salary = $60,000 (at end of first year) Annual raises = 5% p.a.
Current age = 25
Career = 40 years
ROR during career = 10%
Amount needed in first year of retirement = 80% of last year’s salary Inflation in retirement = 3% p.a.
1. Find the FV at the end of your career and conduct a sensitivity analysis to determine if you will have enough for retirement based on the various given savings rates and RORs. Provide your observations about the results.
