Goal number 1 (Retirement): The couple will need a total of $3,500,000 on the day they retire 32 years from now. They are targeting $2,200,000 in Kyle’s company retirement account as well as $1,300,000 in Katie’s Roth IRA account. Kyle’s company retirement account has an existing balance of $40,000 and is expected to earn 10.7% per year. His payments to the company retirement account will remain the same each month. Katie’s Roth IRA account has a zero balance (she just opened the account) and is expected to earn 13.5% per year. Katie will make the same payment each month into her Roth IRA. Compute: The payment Kyle needs to make each month to his retirement account as well as the payment Katie needs to make each month to her Roth IRA, in order to reach their target goals.
