The details of the policy are as follows: The purchaser (say, the parent) makes the following six payments to the insurance company:
First birthday: $750
Second birthday: $750
Third birthday: $850
Fourth birthday: $850
Fifth birthday: $950
Sixth birthday: $950
After the child's sixth birthday, no more payments are made. When the child reaches age 65, he or she receives $250,000. If the relevant interest rate is 11 percent for the first six years and 7 percent for all subsequent years, is the policy worth buying?
