a$.$ Suppose a $65-$year$-$old person wants to purchase an annuity from an insurance company that would pay $$21,100$ per year until the end of that person$$s life. The insurance company expects this person to live for $15$ more years and would be willing to pay $8$ percent on the annuity. How much should the insurance company ask this person to pay for the annuity?

b$.$ A second $65-$year$-$old person wants the same $$21,100$ annuity, but this person is healthier and is expected to live for $20$ more years. If the same $8$ percent interest rate applies, how much should this healthier person be charged for the annuity?

c$.$ In each case, what is the new purchase price of the annuity if the distribution payments are made at the beginning of the year?
