$ 75131

Explanation:

Given:

Amount inherited = $ 300000

Present amount of annuity = $ 300000

Interest rate, i = 8% = 0.08

number of years, n = 5

Now,

the formula for the present amount of annuity is given as:

Present amount of annuity =

where,

P is the periodic payment

n is the number of years

now, on substituting the values, we get

$ 300000 =

or

$ 300000 = P × 3.993

or

P = $ 75131.48 ≈ $ 75131

hence, the amount he can withdraw is $ 75131
