    The correct answer is $1265.60.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

    Present Value (PV) = $25,000

    Rate of interest = 5%

    Rate of interest (semi annual) (r) = 2.5%

    Time period (semi annual) = 2

    So, First we calculate the effective annual interest rate,

    Effective annual interest rate = (1 + r) ^n = (1.025) ^2 - 1

    =5.0625%

    So, Annual Withdrawal = PV * Effective annual interest rate

    by putting the value, we get

    Annual withdrawal = $25,000 * 5.0625%

    = $1265.60
