15 years

Amount of monthly annuity benefit( to be received at the end of the first month after the benefit period begins)

Annual rate of return promised over entire period

If you purchase this policy, how many years will your benefits last once they start?

Time until annuity benefit begin

15 years

Amount of monthly annuity benefit( to be received at the end of the first month after the benefit period begins)

$6,000

Annual rate of return promised over entire period

12.0 %

Explanation / Answer

K = N*12   
Price of policy = ( [(Monthly benefit)/(1 +rate of return/12*100)^K] )/(1 + rate of return/100)^15
                                   k=1

K = N*12   
94372 = ( [(6000)/(1 +12/12*100)^k] )/(1 + 12/100)^15
                                   k=1

Number of years(N) = 16.52
