I understand the very basics of Present and future value, i.e., P.V = FV/(1+i)^t. 1) I have some questions in understanding what he is saying. According to the quote is every life year valued at 100k each? 2) is 2% the discount rate? what does it mean to discount 2% from future years from the moment you are revived.3) how many years is he factoring into his calculation?4) is the calculation then something like below if it takes 80 years to revive? me for a long life after? Summation(100k/(1+0.02)^80+98k/(1+0.02)^81)+ 96k/(1+0.02)^81)... until I die?) multiplied by 1/2 and 0.05?5) can you just provide me with a number by number multiplication so that I can puzzle it out from there?
