    The question is solved by first calculating the amount saved for retirement.

    Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the present value:

    PMT = - 250,000

    N = 30

    I/Y = 6

    Press the CPT key and PV to compute the present value.

    The value obtained is 3,441,207.79.

    Therefore, the amount saved at the time of retirement is $3,441,207.79.

    The annual interest rate needed to meet the retirement goal is computed by entering the below in a financial calculator:

    FV = 3,441,207.79

    N = 40 years*12 = 480 months

    PMT = 600

    Press the CPT key and I/Y to compute the interest rate.

    The monthly interest is 0.8065.

    Therefore, the annual interest rate is 0.8065%*12 = 9.6777%

    = 9.68%
