True North Insurance has established a waiver-of-premium reserve of $100,000 and will have to pay
out an optional life insurance benefit of $200,000. With an interest rate of 6% compounded annually,
how many years will it take for the reserve of $100,000 to accumulate to $200,000? - ANSWER12
years (Use the relationship between future value and present value to solve for the number of time
periods.
FVt = PV x (1 + r)^t
$200,000 = $100,000 x (1 + 6%)^t
$200,000/$100,000 = (1.06)^t
2.00 = (1.06)^t
The number of time periods can be approximated using the future value table. With an interest rate
of 6%, it will take 12 years to accumulate to a sum of $200,000 (or 2.01220).)
