The Maybe Pay Life Insurance Co. is trying to sell you an investment policy that will pay you and your heirs $30,000 per year forever. Suppose a sales associate told you the policy costs $475,000. At what interest rate would this be a fair deal? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
For a perpetuity, interest rate = Annual cash flow / Initial Investment
In this case,
interest rate = 30,000 / 475,000 = 6.32% is the rate at which this would be a fair deal.
