An insurance policy promises to pay you and your heirs $2,500 per year forever, should you become ill. How much would you pay for this policy today if the cost of capital (or rate of return) is 6% and you are factoring 2% growth?
The present value of this will be given as
PV = 2500 x (1+0.02)/(0.06 - 0.02) = 63750
Hence, I will be willing to pay upto $63750
