Once retired, you plan to move to a tax-free Caribbean state, where you believe you can live comfortably on your retirement savings. You plan to make your first withdrawal from your retirement savings when you retire at age 65 and your last withdrawal one month before your 85th birthday. Based on family history, you expect to live until exactly age 85. Your plan is to have a total of $1 million when you retire. Your current salary is $36,000 per year, or $3,000 per month. Your personal tax rate is approximately 30%. You estimate that you can earn an average return of 12% APR compounded annually on any money you invest over the next 60 years.

Decision Trees. For questions 12 and 13, please use the following information: Ang Electronics, Inc., has developed a new DVDR. If the DVDR is successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is brought to market) is $28.6 million. If the DVDR fails, the present value of the payoff is $10.2 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 40 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.42 million to test market the DVDR. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 70 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent.
