The age of Larry is 72.

The expected return multiple is 14.4.

•Expected Value = 14.4 x 12 (pmts/yr) x 10,00 = 1,728,000

•Original / Expected = 1,051,200 / •1,728,000 = 61%

•First Pmt = 10,000

•Exclusion = 10,000 x 61% = 6,100

•Gross Income = 10,000 - 6,100 = 3,900

•100 x 10,000 x 61% = 610,000 capital recovered

•1,051,200 - 610,000 = 441,200

deduction in year of death to recover remaining capital

The age of Larry is 72 and insurance company promise to pay $10,000 per month to Larry
