An insurance company client deposits $1,000,000 for an annuity payment of $6000 per month. The annual contracted discount rate of 4% is compounded monthly. The insurance company fee is 2% of the deposit.
How many months does the annuity last?
What is the formula for n?
Given,
Amount of deposit= $1,000,000
Insurance company fee= 2% of deposit
Therefore, net amount (PV) = $1,000,000*(1-2%)= $980,000
Number of payments= 236. 26 calculated as follows:
Formula for ānā is as follows:
n=-{ln(1-[PV*i]/PMT)/ln(1+i)}
Where n= Number of payments, PV= Present balance, PMT= periodical payments and i= Interest rate per period. ln is the natural logarithm with base 'e'
