You can usually only purchase an annuity from the state you reside in. The exception is if you were traveling, happened to run into an annuity salesperson and they sold you an annuity (not-premeditated).
Insurance companies usually offer the same products in all states with a few exceptions. However, the biggest state-to-state difference is the guaranteed amount in the state insurance legal reserve pools. The reserve pool operates like this…if an insurance company goes out of business, every other insurance company doing business in that state must assume a part of the liabilities and obligations of the out of business company. The protection varies from $100,000-$500,000 depending on which state you live in.

I can Buy an Annuity with my pension now but my pension pot has decreased over the last 2 years. If I should delay buying it for 5 years would this be a better option hoping that the pot increases as the credit crunch ends.
Are they offering you a lump sum buyout? If they are, you can move it into a fixed annuity that pays an up-front bonus and pays a guaranteed rate of return (about 6-8% pending on the insurance company). The other thing you need to figure out is when you will need to start receiving income from this pot of money.
Some people think that the only way to receive money from an annuity is by actually annuitizing, but this is not correct. Losing control of your money only happens if you OPT to annuitize once you purchase an annuity. You can enjoy taking free withdrawals each year without penalty, without forfeiting control of your money AND without annuitizing at any point. There are both good parts and bad parts of annuities, but if you do not want exposure to stocks or mutual funds, certain types of annuities can be an attractive option.
I’d be happy to provide you with free reports with additional information on annuities if you would like.
I can not seem to solve this. The lottery jackpot is $ 363 million. One lump sum payout gives roughly 50% of the published value. The annuity payments option gives equal installments over 26 years. Can anyone help me solve for the rate please? I am simply attempting to prove that the $363 million is not an accurate description of the actual amount that can be won.
Let P = payment = 363 / 26 (in millions)
Let r = interest rate
Let A = amount received as lump sum
Let n = number of years in payments (i.e., 26)
A = P (1+r) (1 – (1+r)^-26) / r
Solve for r
It will be something around 6%
The lump sum deal is for 90 million, what would be the best way to go about that, considering after federal taxes here in florida of 25% which they take 46.5m leaving you with 139.5M, what’s the best way to go about this?????
In theory, it would depend on the assumed rate of return of the annuity versus the assumed rate of return used to calculate the present value. Not to worry, the lottery – no matter what state – always calculates it so that you would be better off with the lump sum, over time, because you could do better on your investments than they assume in the annuity. But, if you don’t trust yourself, or don’t think you will pick a good adviser, take the annuity. You can always sell it later for a lump sum to a third party.

How do I calculate present value interest factor of annuity from this information.
The company plans to purchase a new piece of equipment (to be used over a six year period) for $320,000.
Assume the cash flows and depreciation (based upon the use of the 5-year MACRS Schedule and Table 12-9) for the new equipment is as follows:
Cash Flow Depreciation
1 $120,000 $64,000
2 105,000 102,400
3 80,000 61,440
4 65,000 36,800
5 53,000 36,800
6 45,000 18,560
The firm has a 36 percent tax rate. Assuming depreciation is the only expense and based upon the cost of capital of 10%
Another homework problem? You’ll really get more out of your education if you do your own work.

Financial Markets (ECON 252)
Technology and innovation underlie finance. In order to manage risks successfully, particularly long-term, we must pool large amounts of risk among many, diverse people and overcome barriers such as moral hazard and erroneous framing. Inventions such as insurance contracts and social security, and information technology all the way from such simple things as paper, and the postal service to modern computers have helped to manage risks and to encourage financial systems to address issues pertaining to risk. The tax and welfare system is one of the most important risk management systems.
