2. Jill is currently 30 years old and has 30,000 (ten thousand dollars) in her 401 k. She plans to put in additional 1500 dollars every year. She is not sure about the allocation so decides to put 50 % in a stock fund and 50 % in the bond fund If the future fund growth performance is same as the historical growth;

1. Forecast how much will Jill have in each fund and calculate her asset allocation percentage based on the forecasted amounts at the end of each age period..
