A person in retirement is depositing $300,000 in a saving account that pays 5% interest per year. The person plans to withdraw money from the account once a year. He starts by withdrawing $25,000 after the first year, and in future years he increases the amount he withdraws according to the inflation rate. For example, if the inflation rate is 3%, he withdraws $25,750 after the second year. Calculate the number of years the money in the account will last assuming a constant yearly inflation rate of 2%.

The management of a private investment club has a fund of $250,000 earmarked for investment in stocks. to arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high risk (x), medium risk (y), and low risk (z). management estimates that high risk stocks will have a rate of return of 15%/year; medium risk stocks, 10%/year; and low risk stocks, 6%/year. the amount of money invested in low risk stocks is to be twice the sum of the amount invested in stocks of the other two categories. if the investment goal is to have a rate of return of 9% on the total investment, determine how much the club should invest in each type of stock. (assume that all the money available for investment is invested.)
