- RETIRE.DOC
-
- RETIREMENT ANALYSIS, is a series of three programs designed to assist
- you in achieving your financial goals. The program requires an I.B.M.
- PC/XT/AT or compatible, 80 column monitor and for a hard copy a
- printer configured as LPT1.
-
- Upon entering RETIRE at the DOS prompt, you are presented with a menu
- of three programs. Enter the number of the program that you want to
- run and press ENTER.
-
- The ANNUITY program will tell you how much money you would have to
- save each month until you retire in order to receive a stated amount
- of money each month for either the rest of your life or for a certain
- specified period of time.
-
- You will be prompted to enter the amount of money that you would like
- to receive, whether it is to be for a specific length of time or
- indefinitely, what interest rate you expect to earn on the money, and
- for how many years prior to receiving the first installment will you
- contribute.
-
- After entering these figures the program will calculate how much money
- you will need to save each month in order to receive the amount that
- you specified. Since you do not know what the interest rates will be
- in the future, you will have to make an educated guess at what you
- think the average will be.
-
- SAVINGS ANALYSIS is used for comparing interest rates offered by
- different financial plans. The program can be used for comparing CD's,
- savings accounts etc.
-
- To use the program, first enter the number of plans that you want to
- compare. You will be prompted to enter the name of each of the plans.
- Keep the names as short as possible. Use just enough of the plan's
- name to distinguish it from the others. Then enter the interest rate
- offered by each of the plans and whether it is compounded daily,
- quarterly or monthly. At the next prompt, enter the amount that you
- intend to invest, and the number of years that you plan on leaving it.
- The program will then give you the option to send the results to your
- printer or screen. The display will list the plan name, the interest
- rate, the annualized yeild, your total return on the investment for
- the number of years selected and your net profit on the investment.
-
- The final program will give you a discounted cash flow or net-present
- value analysis. It is primarily useful for variable return financial
- opportunities. The program assumes that the original investment is
- returned as part of the annual receipts; and provides for additional
- investments.
-
- You will first be prompted to enter the amount of your investment;
- followed by the number of years of the investment. Finally enter the
- expected rate of return (annual percentage) that you expect to gain
- from the investment. For each year of the investment enter the
- expected cash flow. If you invest more into the investment during this
- period, enter it as a negative amount. After you enter the amount for
- the last year, the program will ask you wether you want the display
- sent to the printer or to the screen. After answering this prompt, the
- program will display a table consisting of the cash flow in and out of
- the investment, the net present value for each year of the investment
- and tell you if this investment would be profitable or not.
