An insurance agent is trying to sell you an immediate- retirement annuity, which for a single amount paid today will provide you with $12,000 at the end of each year for the next 25 years. You currently earn 9% on low-risk investments comparable to the retirement annuity. Ignoring taxes, what is the most you would pay for this annuity?

Respuesta :

Answer:

present value = 24790.35

Explanation:

given data

amount paid today = $12,000

time = 25 year

rate = 9 %

solution

we get here present value that is express as

present value = future value ÷ [tex](1+rate)^{time}[/tex]    ............................1

here future  value is = amount paid today  × time period

Future value =$12,000  × 25  = $300000

so present value = [tex]\frac{300000}{(1+0.09)^{25}}[/tex]

present value = 24790.35

Present Value of annuity is $117,870.96 (Approx.)

Given that;

Annual payment (P) = $12,000

Annual interest rate (r) = 9% = 0.09  

Number of periods (n) = 25

Find:

Present Value of annuity

Computation:  

Present Value of annuity = P[{1 - (1 / (1 + r) n} / r]

Present Value of annuity = $12,000[{1 - (1 / (1 + 0.09)25} / 0.09]  

Present Value of annuity = $12,000[{1 - (1 / 8.62308066)} / 0.09]

 Present Value of annuity = $12,000[0.884032164 / 0.09]

Present Value of annuity = $12,000 x 9.822579605  

Present Value of annuity = $117,870.96
