The correct answer is $7,056.46

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You want to save sufficient funds to generate an annual cash flow of $55,000 a year for 25 years as retirement income. How much do you need to save each year if you can earn 7.5 percent on your savings?

Final value = 55,000*25 = 1,375,000

FV = {A*[ (1+i) ^n-1]}/i

A = annual deposit

Isolating A:

A = (FV*i) / {[ (1+i) ^n]-1}

A = (1,375,000*0.075) / [ (1.075^38) - 1] = $7,056.46
