You are buying #1
And
Paying ($205-$50)=$155 monthly premium for a $47,000 20Y pure endowment.
To caluclate the IRR for the pure endowment, you need to assume a mortality
table.
The calculation can be easily done in a spreadsheet.
An extreme case:
Assume zero mortality:
PV(240 payments of $155)@IRR=$47,000*(1+IRR)^(-20)
IRR is about 2.88%.
The higher mortality, the lower return for you.

by R and C of the node vx.
if you ignore cp, (assume cp is 0), the output resistance looking into vx is
1/((1+A)*gm). Capacitance load is C2. pole = 1/RC=(1+A)gm/C2
Note: if we ignore Cp, the equivalent load capacitance to Vx is C2 only. The

Zhang's Theorem on Bounded Gaps Between Primes

In late April 2013 Yitang Zhang of the University of New Hampshire submitted
a paper to the Annals of Mathematics proving that there are infinitely many
pairs of primes that differ by less than 70 million. The proof of this
amazing result was verified with high confidence by several experts in the

首先,德国人的首要目标是什么?希特勒的想法是很明确的,那就是消灭红军主力,而
