Exercise 22

Avg difficulty 2.5

A manager in a communications company contributes $2400 per year into her retirement fund by making many small deposits throughout the year. The fund grows at a rate of 3.5% per year compounded continuously. After 35 years, she retires and begins and begins withdrawing from the retirement fund at a rate of $3500 per month. If she does not make any deposits after she retires, how long will her retirement fund last?
