monthly on the balance. He intends to withdraw $6400 at the end of each month to
live off
Suppose that $4, is the balance immediately after the nth withdrawal.
(i) Use the fact that Ay = P(1-0025) ~ 6400 to determine an expression for Ay. 1
(ii) Hence show that Ay = P(1-0025)° — 6400(1-0025)? — 6400(1-0025) — 6400, 1
(iii) Pind the value of P to the nearest integer if the balance will be zero after the [2
180th withdrawal.
