Consider an inheritance that pays the beneficiary an annuity of $500 that begins immediately (an annuity due) and then annually in year 1 through year 17 (for a total of 18 years) with one exception - the payment in year 12, and only 12, is not $500 but $0. Using an interest rate of 3%, determine the present value of this cash flow stream.

Suppose that Kate is 45 years old and has no retirement savings. She wants to begin saving for retirement, with the first payment coming one year from now. She can save $20,000 per year and will invest that amount in the stock market, where it is expected to yield an average annual return of 5.00% return. Assume that this rate will be constant for the rest of her's life. In short, this scenario fits all the criteria of an ordinary annuity. Kate would like to calculate how much money she will have at age 60. Use the following table to indicate which values you should enter on your financial calculator. For example, if you are using the value of 1 for N, use the selection list above N in the table to select that value.
