If a gift is payable to a donee at the death of another person, the present value of the gift is computed as follows:
The provisions of subdivision (a) may be illustrated by the following example:
EXAMPLE.
Donor gives to A, to be paid at the death of X, a female, property having a value of $60,000 at the date of gift. At the date of gift, X is 70 years of age. By consulting Table A(2), the remainder factor in column 4 opposite 70, the number representing X's age, is .52460. This remainder factor multiplied by the appraised value of the property ($60,000) results in a product of $31,476, the present worth of the gift to A.
The present value of a particular sum of money payable at a future date certain is computed as follows:
EXAMPLE.
Donor gives to A $10,000 to be paid at the end of five years from the date of gift. By consulting Table B, the factor for remainder postponed for a term certain in column 4 opposite 5 in column 1, representing the number of years at the end of which the gift is to be paid, is found to be .747258. The factor multiplied by $10,000 results in a product of $7,473, the present value of the gift deferred for a period of five years.
