Your insurance agent is trying to sell you an annuity that costs $50,000 today. By buying this annuity, your agent promises that you will receive payments of $250 a month for the next 20 years. What is the rate of return on this investment

Respuesta :

Answer:

20%

Explanation:

Rate of returns is expresses as a percentage of the amount  a person receives after the cost of investment over a period of time.

Rate of returns (ROR) = [tex]\frac{F.V - O.V}{O.V}[/tex] × 100

F.V = Future value

O.V= original  value

Future value is the future price of the annuity and original value is the current price.

future value per month in 20 years= $250 × 12 × 20= $60000

original value = $50000

ROR = [tex]\frac{60000-50000}{50000}[/tex] × 100

ROR =[tex]\frac{10000}{50000}[/tex] × 100

ROR =0.2×100=20%

Rate of return on this investment is 20%
