Your clients' goal is to accumulate a retirement fund of $300,000 in current (today’s) dollars 16 years from now. Inflation is expected to be 4% per year during this 16-year period.

Based on the assumptions, what is the difference between the future accumulation measured in current dollars and your client’s goal?
