Amount withdraw each year = $ 186,991.24

Explanation:

Amount accumulate at the time of retirement = FV of Current Investment in Bond + FV of Current Investment in Stock + FV of annuity deposited in bond

Amount accumulate at the time of retirement = 162000 x (1+7.5%) ^10 + 602000 x (1+11%) ^10 + 7800 x ((1+7.5%) ^10 - 1) / 7.5%

Amount accumulate at the time of retirement = $ 2,153,565.83

Amount withdraw each year = Amount accumulate at the time of retirement/Annuity factor

Amount withdraw each year = 2153565.83 / ((1 - (1+6.75%) ^-23) / 6.75%)

Amount withdraw each year = $ 186,991.24
