You are planning to save for retirement over the next 30 years. To save for retirement, you will invest $1,000 a month in a stock account in real dollars and $525 a month in a bond account in real dollars. The effective annual return of the stock account is expected to be 11 percent, and the bond account will earn 7 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a 9 percent effective return. The inflation rate over this period is expected to be 4 percent.

1. How much can you withdraw each month from your account in real terms assuming a 25 year withdrawal period?

2. What is the nominal dollar amount of your last withdrawal?
