This is a question of Present value of annuity and future value of annuity.

 

Inflation adjusted rate of return=[(1+rate of ret.)/(1+inflation)]-1

=(1.08/1.02)-1

=5.88%

 

They need additional income of $27271(i.e.104271-77000) per anum.

Hence they will need to invest the present value of annuity of $27271 at 25th year end.

Present value of annuity=PV factor aof annuity*Annuity Amount

PV factor of annuity= [(1+r)^n-1] / [(1+r)^n*r]

=[(1+.0588)^15-1] / [(1+.0588)^15*.0588)

=9.788855793

Present value of annuity=9.788855793*27271

=266951.8863

 

266951.8863 is the future value of annuity(i.e. annual saving) after 25th year.

Hence Amount of annuity shall be=Future value of annuity/FV Factor of annuity

FV factor of annuity=[(1+r)^n-1] / [r]

=[(1+.0588)^25-1] / [.0588]

=53.94623434

Amount of annuity=266951.8863/53.94623434

=4948.480456

Hence they will have to invest$4948.480456 per annum for 25 years in order to earn extra $27271( each year for 15years after 25 years.
