Charles Jordy is planning to save for his retirement. He has decided that he can save 3,000 at the end of each year for the next 10 years, 5,000 at the end of each year for Years 11 through 20, and 10,000 at the end of each year for Years 21 through 30. 3.

She intends to spend 2,000 per month traveling around the world for the next 2 years, during which time her savings will earn 18%, compounded monthly.

(b) If Charles expects to live for 20 years in retirement, how much can he withdraw from his savings at the end of each year if his savings earn 10%? How much at 6%? (c) How much would Charles need to invest today to have the same amount available at the time he retires as calculated in Situation 2(a) at 10%? How much at 6%? 3. In Situation 3, how much will Patricias annuity be?
