Answer:

Monthly withdraw= $4,752.01

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Monthly deposit= $1,000

Number of perios= 361 months

Interest rate= 0.08/12= 0.0067

First, we need to calculate the Future Value at the moment of retirement:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

FV= {1,000*[(1.0067^361) - 1]} / 0.0067

FV= $1,513,584.37

Now, we can calculate the monthly withdraw:

PV= 1,513,584.37 - 900,000= $613,584.27

Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]

Monthly withdraw= (613,584.37*0.0067) / [1 - (1.0067^-300)]

Monthly withdraw= $4,752.01
