Question:

2 Suppose that you inherited from a rich relative an allowance of $50,000 a year, starting tomorrow, when your age is 60 (there are fewer years to use in the calculation than if we assumed that you were 20). Could this (or similar cash-flow patterns) be seen as an asset?

What is the allowance worth today as a lump sum? Bear in mind that there is a huge market where retirees trade a lump sum for an annuity (a regular amount received over a future period). What other factors need to be considered?
