Una Day is planning to retire in 20 years, at which time she hopes to have accumulated enough money to receive an annuity of $35,000 a year for 25 years of retirement. During her pre-retirement period she expects to earn 9 percent annually, while during retirement she expect to earn 11 percent annually on her money.
