Answer:

The real amount you must deposit each year for 35 years to achieve your goal is $5,359.02

Explanation:

To calculate the real amount we need to calculate the real interest rate as follow

1 + Nominal rate = ( 1 + Real rate ) x ( 1 + Inflation rate )

1 + 9.94% = ( 1 + Real rate ) x ( 1 + 3.2% )

1.0994 = ( 1 + Real rate ) x 1.032

1 + Real rate = 1.0994 / 1.032

1 + Real rate = 1.06531

Real rate = 1.06531 - 1

Real rate = 0.06531

Real rate = 6.531% = 6.53%

We need to calculate the PV of the payment that should be received.

Use the following formula to calculate the present value

PV of Annuity = Annuity payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + Interest rate )^-numbers of annuity payments ) / Interest rate

Where

Annuity Payment = $5,000 per month

Interest rate = 6.53% / 12 = 0.5442%

Numbers pf annuity payments = 20 years  x 12  payments per year = 240 payment

PLacing values in the formula

PV of Annuity = $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.5442% )^-240 ) / 0.5442%

PV of Annuity = $5,000 x 133.80362

PV of Annuity = $669,018.09

Now calculate the amount of deposit required to receive the payment after retirement.

Use the following formula to calculate the real deposit

Future value of annuity = Annuity Payment x ( 1 + Interest rate )^numbers of annuity payments - 1 ) / Interest rate

Where

Future value of annuity = $669,018.09

Interst rate = 6.53%

Numbers of annuity payment = 35 years x 1 payment per year = 35 payments

Annuity payment = Real amount of deposit = ?

Placing values in the formula

$669,018.09 = Real amount of deposit x ( 1 + 6.53% )^35 - 1 ) / 6.53%

$669,018.09 = Real amount of deposit x 124.83967

Real amount of deposit = $669,018.09 / 124.83967

Real amount of deposit = $5,359.02
