Sue is age 73 and has a huge deal of difficulty living independently as she suffers from severe rheumatoid arthritis. She is enclosed by a $400,000 life insurance policy, and her children are named as the beneficiaries. Because of her health, Sue decides to live in a nursing home, but she does not have sufficient income to pay her nursing home bills which are expected to total $42,000 per year. The insurance company provides disabled individuals the option of either a reduced settlement on their policies or an annuity. Given Sue's age and health she has the option of receiving $3,200 per month or a lump sum payment of $225,000. To date, Sue has paid $80,000 in premiums on the policy.

a. How much income must Sue report if she selects the lump sum settlement?

b. How much income must Sue report if she choose the annuity?
