Jim hunter has decided to retire to florida in 10 years. what amount should jim invest today so that he'll be able to withdraw $25,000 at the end of each year for 30 years after he retires? assume he can invest money at 9% interest compounded annually.

The following formula is applicable;
A=P(1+r)^n

Where,
A = Total amount accrued after 10 years (this is the amount from which the yearly withdrawals will be made from for the 30 years after retirement)
P=Amount invested today
r= Annual compound interest for the 10 years before retirement
n= Number of years the investments will be made.

Therefore,
A= Yearly withdrawals*30 years = $25,000*30 = $750,000
r= 9% = 0.09
n= 10 years

P= A/{(1+r)^n} = 750,000/{(1+0.09)^10} = $316,808.11
Therefore, he should invest $316,808.11 today.
