Two students, Frank and Mary start they Engineering Studies on the same date and they make the commitment of retiring thirty years after their forecasted graduation date (the date they would graduate if no delays are introduced). This date will not change if any delays make any of them graduate later.

Calculate the difference in their earnings if for some reasons Frank is required to graduate one semester later than what was intended.
