An insurance settlement of $2.5 million must replace Trixie Eden's income for the next 45 years. What income will this settlement provide at the end of each month if it is invested in an annuity that earns 8.1%, compounded monthly?
In this case we know the PV of Annity is 2500000
Interest rate per month = 8.1/12 = 0.675% per month
Time = 540 months
Monthly payment = ?
PV of annuity = P[1- (1+ r)^-n]/ r
2500000 = X [1- (1+ 0.00675)^-540]/ 0.00675
2500000 = X [1- (1.00675)^-540]/ 0.00675
2500000 = X [1- 0.0264432803315856]/ 0.00675
2500000 = X [0.973556719668414/ 0.00675]
2500000 = X [144.230625136061]
X = 2500000/ 144.230625
= 17333.35
So it will give 17333.35 per month
