An insurance company is offering to sell an annuity for $20,000 cash. In return the firm will guarantee to pay the purchaser 20 annual endof-year payments, with the first payment amounting to $1100. Subsequent payments will increase at a uniform 10% rate each year (second payment is $1210; third payment is $1331, etc.). What rate of return would someone who buys the annuity receive?
You are considering two insurance settlement offers. The first offer includes annual payments of $45,000 a year for 12 years with the first payment made at the beginning of the year. The other offer is the payment of one lump sum amount at the beginning of the year. You are trying to decide which offer to accept given the fact that your discount rate is 7%. What is the mininum amount that you will accept if you are to select the lump sum offer? • A. $540,000.00 • в. $357,420.88 • C. $412,738.96 • D. $382,440.35 • E. $437,358.40
