11. A 65-year-old wishes to convert the cash value of his insurance policy into an annuity. He can select an annuity that will last 15 years or one that lasts 20 years.

In question four, Janet was asked to solve a question that deals with annuity payments, specifically, ordinary annuities. It starts by asking of how much you will make if you add $2,000 every year and it is compounded by 10% interest every year. These, for the most part, are future value problems. The first one comes out to be a future value of $12,210.20, which does not satisfy the need for $20,000. The next part asks what the value would be if the interest was compounded semiannually. You have to do an equation in order to find out what the effective annual interest rate. Through this equation you come out with a value of 10.25% and after the calculator calculations you come out with a future value of $12,271.11, also not meeting the demand for that first year of college. The next part asks what payment will you need in order to get to that $20,000 number and the present value comes to be $3,275.95. Next, the case asks what original payment you would need in order
