What is the difference between a qualify annuity and non qualifying annuity?

You mean qualified. It refers to the tax status of the funds inside it. If funds are qualified that is IRS/investment lingo for pre tax money, such as money in a 401K, IRA, or 403b. Non qualified obviously is money that income tax has already been paid on. Taxes in an annuity are defered until you use the money. In a qualified annuity all of the money would be subject to income tax upon withdrawal. In a non qualified annuity only the gains would be taxed. But since it is tax deferred you pay your income tax rate, not capital gains taxes. The original amount invested is not subject to tax when you withdraw it.

What is the limitation of cost based data in decision making?

The major limitation of using cost-based data in decision making is that most cost-based data is backwards looking or historical and decisions are made for future actions. If there is a possibility that future costs would be different (e.g., a commodity like oil is used in the production process), there is a likelihood that the decision may be different as well.

One way to minimize the limitation is to perform sensitivities on each cost basis to better understand how risky a future change in costs may be. From there, define three or four scenarios (many companies look at the worst case, expected case, target case and best case) and determine if a decision would be different in any of those cases. Finally, weight the likelihood of each case to determine what decision will be best for the company.

Fixed annuities do you get back principle when die?

In a fixed deffered annuity you get principle plus all earned interest.

In an income annuity, you may or may not, it depends on the company and the product chosen. This feature has only been around for a short time. So if it is an old annuity it most likely is set to pay out for a specific length of time, therefore you would not receive the principle back upon death. But the beneficiary or estate would receive the remaining payments.

When is interest paid?

Interest is usually paidin arrears, meaning at the end of each period. So if your loan has monthly payments, the interest would be due at the end of the monthly cycle. As an example, if my loan cycle was from the 15th of each month through the 15th of the next month, then I would pay interest for the period 15th January through 15th February on the 15th of February.

Sometimes interest can be paid in advance, meaning at the start of each period. In the example cited above, interest in advance would be payable on the 15th January.
