The the formula to calculate the amount the insurance company must put into a bank account is by using the present value of a a stream of cash flow in perpetuity.

By perpetuity I mean a particular amount that pays a sum of money forever.

In this case,the amount required is meant to Earl's family $59,000 per year forever.

pv=periodic payment/interest rate

periodic payment is $59,000

interest rate 3.3%

pv=$59,000/3.3%=$1,787,878.79
