The correct answer to the question is $52000. The annual withdrawal amount is $12,177.17. To determine the grant's initial amount, the Annuity's PV.
It has to be calculated:
Now, r = 1.055 and a = 12177.17.
Let x(0) equal the starting sum.
The amount increases to rx(0) after a year, then decreases to rx(0) - a. The sum after a year is therefore x(1) = rx(0) - a.
Annual withdrawal (A) = $12,177.17
r = 5.5%
n = 5 years
PV of Annuity= PMT * [1 - [(1 / 1+r)]/r],
Where P stands for present value,
PMT stands for the sum of each payment.
r = Interest or discount rate.
Now, PV of Annuity= 12177.17*[1-(1/1+0.55)]/5.5%]
=$52000 (approx)
