Answer:

the present value is $250,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount that pay for the policy is as follows;

Present Value is

= PMT ÷ required return

= $20,000 ÷ 8%

= $250,000

By dividing the pMT from the required rate of return we can easily determine the present value

hence, the present value is $250,000
