Janice started receiving an annuity payment of $1,500 per month when she turned 68 years old (expected return multiple for ordinary single-life annuity of 17.6). Janice purchased the annuity for $225,000 and will continue to draw the monthly payment for the remainder of her life. What is the amount of the annuity that represents a return of capital each year and is, therefore, nontaxable? (Round your calculation of the return of capital percentage to the nearest whole number.)

71% or $12,780 annually.

Explanation:

To find the amount of the Annuity that represents a return on Capital each year you divide the cost of the Annuity by the total amount of the Annuity to be received if the single life annuity is used to the fullest.

First then, we would need to calculate the full value of the Annuity.

Janice expects to get $1,500 per month for 17.6 years.

That means the total value would be,

= 1,500 * 12 months * 17.6 years

= $316,800 is the Total Annuity Receivable.

Calculating the return on Capital we will have,

= Cost of Annuity / Total Annuity Receivable

= 225,000 / 316,800

= 0.71022727272

= 71%

Monthly calculated that would be,

= 0.71 (1,500 * 12)

= $12,780

The return on Capital is 71% or $12,780 annually.
