Question
Liam O'Kelly is 20 years old and is thinking about buying a term life insurance policy with his wife as the beneficiary. The quoted annual premium for Liam is $8.51 per thousand dollars of insurance coverage. Because Liam wants a $80,000 policy (which is 2.5 times his annualsalary), the annual premium would be $681, with the first payment due immediately (i.e., at age 21). A friend of Liam's suggests that the $681 annual premium should be deposited in a good mutual fund rather than in the insurance policy. "If the mutual fund earns 9% per year, you can become a millionaire by the time you retire at age 65," the friend advises.
Is the friend's statement really true?
The future value of annual premiums deposited in a good mutual fund is?
