Answer: $135.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on IRS tables, Mary is expected to receive 192 (16 years x 12 months) annuity payments. Her investment in the annuity is $70,000 and her return of capital for each annuity payment is $70,000/192 = $364.58. The return of capital portion of each annuity payment is not taxable (not included in gross income). Mary must include the excess received ($500.00 – 364.58) of $135.42 in her gross income.
