Which of the following statements is CORRECT? 1. If some cash flows occur at the beginning of the periods while others occur at the ends, then we have what the textbook defines as a variable annuity. 2. The cash flows for an annuity must all be equal, and they must occur at regular intervals, such as once a year or once a month. 3. If a series of unequal cash flows occurs at regular intervals, such as once a year, then the series is by definition an annuity. 4. The cash flows for an annuity due must all occur at the ends of the periods. 5. The cash flows for an ordinary (or deferred) annuity all occur at the beginning of the periods.
The future value of an annuity due is determined one period after the first cash flow in the series. a.True b.False
The present value of an annuity is the amount needed now so that desired annuity payments may be made in the future. In this scenario annuity payments will be made at the beginning of each month. Thus, this is an annuity due. To find the present value of this annuity, the amount of money that should be deposited in an account now, the interest rate per period must first be found. The interest rate per period is calculated using the nominal, or annual, rate and the number of periods per year as follows. interest rate per period = nominal rate periods per year The rate was given to be 6%. Interest is compounded monthly, or 12 times per year. Find the interest rate per period. interest rate per period = nominal rate periods per year = % 12 = % The total number of compounding periods will be 1 less than the number of years annuity payments will be made multiplied by the number of compounding periods per year. There are 12…
Increasing the number of periods will increase all of the following except: Select one: A. The present value of an annuity B. The present value of $1 C. The future value of $1 D. The future value of an annuity
The present value of a perpetuity is equal to the payment on the annuity, PMT, divided bythe interest rate, I : PV = PMT/I. What is the future value of a perpetuity of PMT dollars peryear? (Hint: The answer is infinity, but explain why.)
Using an annuity, you may calculate the present value of a single payment or a series of payments you will receive. Is this statement correct or incorrect?
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? If some cash flows occur at the beginning of the periods while others occur at the ends, then we have what the textbook defines as a variable annuity. The cash flows for an ordinary (or deferred) annuity all occur at the beginning of the periods. If a series of unequal cash flows occurs at regular intervals, such as once a year, then the series is by definition an annuity. The cash flows for an annuity due must all occur at the ends of the periods. The cash flows for an annuity must all be equal, and they must occur at regular intervals, such as once a year or once a month.
A growing annuity is a cash flow stream with ________ (an infinite, a finite) life, while a growing perpetuity is a cash flow stream with a _______ (infinite or finite) . Therefore, given same initial cash flow, growth rate, and interest rate, the present value of the perpetuity will always be ___________ (greatwe rhan, less than, or equal to) the present value of the annuity.
You have been depositing money into an account yearly based on the following investment amounts, rates and times. What is the value of that Investment account at the end of that period?
The ___________ of an annuity is the amount that must be invested now at interest rate i per time period to provide n payments each of amount R.
Which of the following statement is true? a) An ordinary annuity is an annuity in which the cash flow occurs at the start of each period b) None of the above c) A deferred annuity is an annuity in which the first cash flow occurs at the end of the time period between each subsequent cash flow d) with a credit foncier loan ( a loan for a fixed period with regular repayments) as time passes a smaller proportion of each repayment goes to paying off the interest on the loan
Perpetuities are also called annuities with an extended or unlimited life. Based on your understanding of perpetuities, answer the following questions. Which of the following are characteristics of a perpetuity? Check all that apply. The present value of a perpetuity is calculated by dividing the amount of the payment by the investor’s opportunity interest rate. In a perpetuity, returns—in the form of a series of identical cash flows—are earned. A perpetuity continues for a fixed time period. The principal amount of a perpetuity is repaid as a lump-sum amount. Your grandfather wants to establish a scholarship in his father’s name at a local university and has stipulated that you will administer it. As you’ve committed to fund a $5,000 scholarship every year beginning one year from tomorrow, you’ll want to set aside the money for the scholarship immediately. At tomorrow’s meeting with your grandfather and the bank’s representative, you will need to…
