Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Income from the annuity payments in the first year?

Exclution per payment = Total contribution to pension fund/ Number of anticipated monthly annuity payments = 42,000/210 = 200

Collects payments in 2015 = 6*3,000=18,000

Exclusion for capital recovery = 6*200 = 1,200

Net Income = 18,000-1,200 = 16,800

What is her income from the annuity payments in the twenty-fourth year?

3,000*12 = 36,000

What are Pam's income and deductions from the annuity contract in the year of her death?

Income from annuity payments = 3000 x 8 months = 24000

Loss deductions = 3000 x 4 months = 12000
