document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Use the general formula  X = \"W%2Ap%2A%28%281-p%5E%28-n%29%29%2Fr%29\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In this case  the withdrawal annual rate is  W = $35000,  the annual compounding rate \r\n" );
document.write( "is  r = 0.05,  p = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05, the number of withdrawal periods  is n = 20. So\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "          X = \"35000%2A1.05%2A%28%281-1.05%5E%28-20%29%29%2F0.05%29\" = 457,986.24 dollars. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It is how much your account should  have at the beginning.    \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You will pull out  35000*20 = 700,000 dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The difference  700,000 - 457,986.24 = 700,000 - 457,986.24 = 242,013.76 is the interest.\r\n" );
