Expert Solution
Step 1

An annuity is any plan which gives a fixed payment for a predetermined period of time. It is primarily used for retired people to provide them with a source of funds.

The present value of the annuity is the value of the payments if they were discounted by the rate of interest which they earn.

The future value of the annuity is the total value of the payments if they had been deposited and were earning interest.

An ordinary annuity is an annuity that pays the fixed amount at the end of the period.

An annuity due is the annuity that pays the fixed amount at the start of the period.
