Solved: 1 Use Worksheet 11 1 to determine whether the

Woodsons have

1. Use Worksheet 11.1 to determine whether the Woodsons have enough money right now to
meet their children's educational needs. That is, will the $45,000 they've accumulated so far be
enough to put their children through school, given they can invest their money at 6 percent?
Remember, they want to have $40,000 set aside for each child by the time each one starts
college.

2. Regarding their retirement nest egg, assume that no additions are made to either the $50,000
they now have in mutual funds or to the $20,000 in the retirement account. How much would
these investments be worth in 20 years, given that they can earn 6 percent?

3. Now, if the Woodsons can invest $6,000 a year for the next 20 years and apply all of that to
their retirement nest egg, how much would they be able to accumulate given their 6 percent rate
of return?

4. How do you think the Woodsons are doing with regard to meeting their twin investment
objectives? Explain.

Like many married couples, Damian and Brandi Woodson are trying their best to save for two
important investment objectives: (1) an education fund to put their two children through college;
and (2) a retirement nest egg for themselves. They want to have set aside $40,000 per child by
the time each one starts college. Given that their children are now 10 and 12 years old, Damian
and Brandi have 6 years remaining for one child and 8 for the other. As far as their retirement
plans are concerned, the Woodsons both hope to retire in 20 years, when they reach age 65.
Both Damian and Brandi work, and together, they currently earn about $90,000 a year. Six
years ago, the Woodsons started a college fund by investing $6,000 a year in bank CDs. That
fund is now worth $45,000-enough to put one child through an in-state college. They also have
$50,000 that they received from an inheritance invested in several mutual funds and another
$20,000 in a tax sheltered retirement account. Damian and Brandi believe that they'll easily be
able to continue putting away $6,000 a year for the next 20 years. In fact, Brandi thinks they'll
be able to put away even more, particularly after the children are out of school. The Woodsons
are fairly conservative investors and feel they can probably earn about 6 percent on their
money. (Ignore taxes for the purpose of this exercise.)
