Question

Collin buys a fixed deferred annuity. Upon annuitization, he chooses the life annuity with period certain payout option. Collin will receive $3,000 each month with a 15-year certain period. If Collin dies after seven years, how much will his beneficiary receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

$288,000

Explanation:

Given:

Payment per month = $3,000

Remain period = 15 year - 7 year = 8 year

Total payment period = 8 year x 12 month = 96 month

Computation of total remain beneficiary amount:

Total remain beneficiary amount = Payment per month x 96 month

Total remain beneficiary amount = $3,000 x 96

Total remain beneficiary amount = $288,000

Answer 2

Answer:

$288,000

Explanation:

Given that

Each month received amount = $3,000

Time period = 15 years

Died = After 7 years

The computation of the amount received by the beneficiary is

= Each month received amount × total number of months in a year × remaining years

= $3,000 × 12 months × 8 years

= $288,000

The remaining years is

= 15 years - 7 years

= 8 years

Hence, the beneficiary amount received is $288,000
