New question:
A finance company has agreed to pay a retired couple a pension of $19200/yr for the next 20 yrs, indexed to inflation that is 3.5% per annum.
How much would have the coupe been paid over 20 years?
In return, the couple pay an upfront fee which the company invests at a compound interest rate of 7% per annum. The total value of the fee plus interest covers the pension payout over the 20 yr period. How much did the couple pay upfront?

income be?
