Question
Finance
2. Joan and Tom (both 48 years old now) are married couple. They are trying to decide if they will have enough money to retire early in 12 years, at age 60. Their current assets are $300,000 in retirement plans and they have $100,000 in other investments. Together, Joan and Tom contribute $28,000 per year to their retirement plans and another $6,000 to other investments.
a. If their assets grow at 8 percent per year, how much money will they have when they turn 60? (7.5 marks)
b. After they retire, they will invest their wealth more conservatively and it will earn 5 percent per year. Is this enough to fund a $100,000 per year retirement for 40 years (100 years old by then)? (7.5 marks)
