In computing how much money will the Halls have left over for all other expenses after
paying their outstanding debts, the first thing that we do is to compute first the total amount of
their monthly income and deduct with its interest rate of 28%. After deducting the interest rate
divide it to 12 months in order for us to get the total amount of monthly income. Here is the
computation in getting the monthly income.
Monthly Income
Marty Salary $ 50,000
Laura Salary 25,000
Total Income Before Tax (Annually) 75,000
Less: Income Tax 28% ($75,000x28%) 21,000
Total Income After Tax (Annually) 54,000
Divide: 12 months 12
Total Monthly Income After Tax $ 4,500
As stated above, the monthly income after tax by the couple is $4,500. The next thing that we
do is computing the monthly expenses of the couple. The computation is the following:
Above is a table shows that the Halls has a total monthly expenses of $2,249.38 that composed
of house rent, credit card, car loan and college loan.. The last step that we do is computing the
money will the Halls have left over for all other expenses. The computations are as follows:
Total Monthly Income After Tax $ 4,500
Less: Total Monthly Expenses $ 2,249.38
Hall's Monely Left $ 2,250.62
The table above shows the couple’s money have left for other expenses. It is computed
by the amount of total monthly income less the amount of total monthly expenses. Thus, the
couple has a monthly income of $4,500 and a monthly expenses of $2,249.38. By subtracting
the expenses to the income it will result to money left over for other expenses for the amount
of $2,250.62.
2. How much money will Laura and Marty have to deposit each month (beginning one month
after the child is born and ending on his or her 18th birthday) in order to have enough saved
up for their child’s college education. Assume that the yield on investments is 8% per year,
college expenses increase at the rate of 4% per year, and that their child will enter college
when he or she turns 18 and will complete the degree in 4 years.
We first have to find out how much is the total college expenses of their child in 4 years in order
to determine the amount that they need to save or deposit every month.
Let periods be the age of their child at 18th, 19th, 20th, 21th.
The total amount of PV that they need to save or deposit for their child’s college expense is
$154,032.95. To further, we will compute for their monthly payment or deposits.

PMT = (1+𝑖 )𝑛−1
𝑖
154,032.95
PMT = (1+0.0067 )216−1
0.0067
154,032.95
PMT =
482.197795
PMT = $319.44
The monthly savings Marty and Laura Hall will need is $319.44
3. How much money will the Halls have to set aside each month so as to have enough saved
up for a down payment on the $140,000 house within 12 months? Assume that the closing
costs amount to 2% of the loan and that the down payment is 10% of the price.
We have to compute the amount of downpayment and closing cost in order to find the future
value.
Halls have to set aside a total of $16,520 annually, and given the annual rate of 8%, we can now
solve for their monthly needed savings for a new house.
𝐹𝑉
PMT = (1+𝑖 )𝑛−1
𝑖
16,520
PMT = (1+0.0067 )12−1
0.0067
16,520
PMT =
12.45222629
PMT = 1,326.67
The monthly savings that Halls will need to set aside each month is $1,326.67
4. If the interest rate on a 30-year mortgage is at 5% per year when the Halls purchase their
$140,000 house, how much will their mortgage payment be? Ignore insurance and taxes.
Downpayment 14,000
PMT = $676.70
Monthly Income
Marty Salary $ 50,000
Laura Salary 25,000
Total Income Before Tax (Annually) 75,000
Less: Income Tax 28% ($75,000x28%) 21,000
Total Income After Tax (Annually) $ 54,000
As stated above, the Halls has a total annual income after tax in the amount of $54,000.
They are currently 30 years old and has a plan of retiring at the age of 65 years old. This means
that they have 35 years more until they will get retired. The future value of their current annual
income after tax today will not be the same as the value to the future. The computations of
determining the future value are as follows:
FV = PV(1 + rate)n
nper= 35
rate= 4%
PV= -54000
PMT= 0
FV= ?
FV= rate,nper,PMT,-PV
FV= $213,088.81
After getting the future value of their annual income at the age 65 years old. The
statement says that after they retired, the inflation is increasing 4% per year. This means that
the desired income when they become 65 years old is the amount of $213,088, 81. On the next
year, when they become 66 years old the desired income will increase to 4% and it would be
total to $221,612.36. The desired income is computed as previous desired income multiplied it
by 104%. Meanwhile in getting the present value of the desired income, we just need to
multiply the desired income with its corresponding PV factor of 8%. The same computations
will follow until it reached the age of 80. The total present value are sum up in order to get the
total amount of present value. The computation are as follows:
PV factor of
Age Desired Income 8% Income Needed
65 $213,088.81
66 $221,612.36 0.92593 $205,197.53
67 $230,476.85 0.85734 $197,597.02
68 $239,695.93 0.79383 $190,277.82
69 $249,283.76 0.73503 $183,231.04
70 $259,255.11 0.68058 $176,443.85
71 $269,625.32 0.63017 $169,909.79
72 $280,410.33 0.58349 $163,616.62
73 $291,626.74 0.54027 $157,557.18
74 $303,291.81 0.50025 $151,721.73
75 $315,423.49 0.46319 $146,101.00
76 $328,040.43 0.42888 $140,689.98
77 $341,162.04 0.39711 $135,478.86
78 $354,808.53 0.3677 $130,463.09
79 $369,000.87 0.34046 $125,630.03
80 $383,760.90 0.31524 $120,976.79
Total $2,394,892.34
The tables states the present values of their desired income until they become 80 years old.
Lastly, after the computation of the desired income and the present value of each, the
computation for the PMT monthly or the amount of money that the Halls should set aside each
month so as to have enough money accumulated in their retirement nest egg will be computed.
The computations are as follows:
FV= $2,394,420.36
PMT= ?

(1 + rate)n − 1

PMT= $1,033.83
Above shows that the Halls should set aside the amount of $1,033.83 every month to have
enough money accumulated in their retirement nest egg.
