    Since nothing remains after 25 years, future value is 0

    Present value is $500000

    As he withdraws equal amounts yearly, we use the formulae for present value of annuity. We can treat 25 years as annuity.

    P = PMT x ((1 - (1 / (1 + r) ^ n)) / r)

    Where:

    P = the present value of an annuity stream

    PMT = the dollar amount of each annuity payment

    r = the interest rate (also known as the discount rate)

    n = the number of periods in which payments will be made

    Present value of annuity (6%, 25 yrs) = P (1 - 1 / (1+0.06) ^25 / 0.06)

    500000 = P ((1-1/4.291) / 0.06)

    P is the periodic payment annually

    Equating this with the total present value

    500000 = P x (12.782)

    P = 500000/12.782

    P=39117

    Answer should be d) $39113
