You are given the option of receiving P1,000 now or an annuity of P85 per month for 12 months. Which of the following is correct? * You cannot choose between the two without computing future values. The choice you would make when comparing the future value of each would be the same as the choice you would make when comparing present values. You will always choose the lump sum payment. You will always choose the annuity. You cannot choose between the two without computing present values.
You are considering two equally risky annuities, each of which pays $5,000 per year for 10 years. Investment ORD is an ordinary (or deferred) annuity, while Investment DUE is an annuity due. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The present value of ORD exceeds the present value of DUE, and the future value of ORD also exceeds the future value of DUE. b. The present value of ORD must exceed the present value of DUE, but the future value of ORD may be less than the future value of DUE. c. The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of ORD, and the future value of DUE also exceeds the future value of ORD. d. The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of ORD, while the future value of DUE is less than the future value of ORD. e. If the going rate of interest decreases from 10% to 0%, the difference between the present value of ORD and the present value of DUE would remain constant.
You are offered the choice of two annuities. A: Receive $100 every year for the next ten years. The first payment starts one year from today. B: Receive $204 every two years for the next ten years. The first payment starts two years from today. Without calculating the present values of the annuities, explain how you can obtain the rate of interest per annum that would make you indifferent between the two annuities.
You are considering two equally risky annuities, each of which pays $5,000 per year for 10 years. Investment ORD is an ordinary (or deferred) annuity, while Investment DUE is an annuity due. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Multiple Choice The present value of ORD must exceed the present value of DUE, but the future value of ORD may be less than the future value of DUE. The present value of ORD exceeds the present value of DUE, and the future value of ORD also exceeds the future value of DUE. The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of ORD, while the future value of DUE is less than the future value of ORD. The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of ORD, and the future value of DUE also exceeds the future value of ORD.
Which of the following statements is most correct? Group of answer choices The value of a perpetuity (say for $100 per year) will approach infinity as the interest rate used to evaluate the perpetuity approaches zero. If you are lending money, then, based on effective interest rates, you should prefer to lend at a 10 percent simple, or quoted, rate but with semiannual payments, rather than at a 10.1 percent simple rate with annual payments. However, as a borrower you should prefer the annual payment loan. The first payment under a 3-year, annual payment, amortized loan for $1,000 will include a smaller percentage (or fraction) of interest if the interest rate is 5 percent than if it is 10 percent. All of these.
You are comparing two annuities. Annuity A pays $110 at the end of each year for 5 years. Annuity B pays $100 at the beginning of each year for 5 years. The rate of return on both annuities is 8 percent. Which one of the following statements is correct given this information? O Annuity B has both a higher present value and a higher future value than Annuity A. Annuity A has both a higher present value and a higher future value than Annuity B. O Annuity A has the same present value and future value as Annuity B.
Your financial planner offers you two different investment plans. Plan 1 is a R3958 annual perpetuity. Plan 2 is a 12 year, R8016 annual annuity. Both plans will make their first payment one year from today. At what discount rate would you be indifferent (ie same rate) between these two plans?
You have the choice of two equally risky annuities, each paying $5,000 per year for 8 years. One is an annuity that pays at the beginning of the year and the other is an annuity that pays at the end of the year. If you are going to be receiving the annuity payments, which annuity would you choose to maximize your wealth? A. Since we don't know the interest rate, we can't find the value of the annuities and hence we cannot tell which one is better. B. either one because they have the same present value C. the annuity that pays at the beginning of the year D. the annuity that pays at the end of the year
Suppose you're going to receive $7800 per year for five years. the appropriate discount rate is 7.5%. A.What is the present value of the payments if they are in the form of an ordinary annuity? What is the present value if the payments are an annuity due? B. Suppose you plan to invest the payments for five years. What is the future value if the payments are an ordinary annuity? What if the payments are in annuity due? C. Which has the higher present value, the ordinary annuity or the annuity due? Which has a higher future value? Will this always be true?
An annuity and an annuity due with the same number of payments have the same future value if the interest rate is 10 percent. Which one has the higher payment? They both must have the same payment since the future values are the same. The annuity due has the higher payment. There is no way to tell which has the higher payment. An annuity and an annuity due cannot have the same future value. The annuity has the higher payment.
Modified True or FalseT means Correct and F means WrongScenario: CHUGS are considering two equally risky annuities, each of which pays $5.000 per year for 10 years.Investment ORD is an ordinary annuity, while Investment DUE is an annuity due.1. The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of ORD, while the future value of DUE is less than the future value of ORD.2. The present value of ORD exceeds the present value of DUE, and the future value of ORD also exceeds the future value of DUE.3. If the going rate of interest decreases from 10% to 0%, the difference between the present value of ORD and the present value of DUE would remain constant.4. A rational investor would be willing to pay more for DUE than for ORD, so their market prices should differ.
Suppose you are going to receive $13,000 per year for 7 years. The appropriate interest rate is 8 percent. a.What is the present value of the payments if they are in the form of an ordinary annuity? b.What is the present value if the payments are an annuity due? c.Suppose you plan to invest the payments for 7 years, what is the future value if the payments are an ordinary annuity? d.Suppose you plan to invest the payments for 7 years, what is the future value if the payments are an annuity due?
