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 comparing two annuities. Annuity A pays $115 at the end of each year for 5 years. Annuity B pays $105 at the beginning of each year for 5 years. The rate of return on both annuities is 12 percent. Which one of the following statements is correct given this information? Annuity B has both a higher present value and a higher future value than Annuity A. O 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.
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.
D7) Consider two riskless perpetuities: (i) pays $120 every year; (ii) pays $10 every month. If the rates of returns of the two perpetuities are the same, investors must buy perpetuity (ii) because it makes more interest payments.
You plan to analyze the value of a potential investment by calculating the sum of the present values of its expected cash flows. Which of the following would lower the calculated value of the investment? The discount rate decreases. The cash flows are in the form of a deferred annuity, and they total to $100,000. You learn that the annuity lasts for only 5 rather than 10 years, hence that each payment is for $20,000 rather than for $10,000. The discount rate increases. The riskiness of the investment's cash flows decreases. The total amount of cash flows remains the same, but more of the cash flows are received in the earlier years and less are received in the later years.
Which of the following is/are correct? Select all that apply. O More frequent compounding reduces the effective annual rate, all else the same. A financial asset with an infinite number of future cash flows can have a finite value. O An annuity is worth less in today's dollars than an annuity due, all else the same. O An annuity has a greater future value than an annuity due, all else the same.
10. COMMWORK is considering equally risky annuities, (a) each of which pays $5,000 per year for 10 years. (b) Investment CORD is an ordinary (or deferred) annuity, while Investment RUE is an annuity due. Given the scenario above, the correct statement is: If the going rate of interest decreases from 10% to 0%, the difference between the present value of CORD and the present value of RUE would remain constant. The present value of RUE exceeds the present value of CORD, and the future value of RUE also exceeds the future value of CORD. The present value of CORD must exceed the present value of RUE, but the future value of CORD may be less than the future value of RUE. The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of CORD, while the future value of RUE is less than the future value of CORD. The present value of CORD exceeds the present value of RUE, and the future value of CORD also exceeds the future value of RUE. Group of answer choices 5 4 2 Cannot be…
. Evaluate the following statement:Consider two riskless perpetuities: (i) pays $120 every year; (ii) pays $10 every month. If the rates of returns of the two perpetuities are the same, investors must buy perpetuity (ii) because it makes more interest payments.
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.
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.)
Suppose you just bought an annuity with 10 annual payments of $16,500 at a discount rate of 13.75 percent per year. a. What is the value of the investment at the current interest rate of 13.75 percent? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. b. What happens to the value of your investment if interest rates suddenly drop to 8.75 percent? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. c. What happens to the value of your investment if interest rates suddenly rise to 18.75 percent? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
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.
In calculating insurance premiums, the actuarially fair insurance premium is the premium that results in a zero NPV for both the insured and the insurer. As such, the present value of the expected loss is the actuarially fair insurance premium. Suppose your company wants to insure a building worth $390 million. The probability of loss is 1.29 percent in one year, and the relevant discount rate is 3.1 percent. a. What is the actuarially fair insurance premium? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.) b. Suppose that you can make modifications to the building that will reduce the probability of a loss to .80 percent. How much would you be willing to pay for these modifications? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.) a. Insurance premium b. Maximum cost
