Chapter 4, Problem 3Q

An annuity is defined as a series of payments of a fixed amount for a specific number of periods. Thus, $100 a year for 10 years is an annuity, but $100 in Year 1, $200 in Year 2, and $400 in Years 3 through 10 does not constitute an annuity. However, the entire series does contain an annuity. Is this statement true or false?

Which of the following statements about annuities are true? Check all that apply. An ordinary annuity of equal time earns less interest than an annuity due.   A perpetuity is a series of equal payments made at fixed intervals that continue infinitely and can be thought of as an infinite annuity.   When equal payments are made at the end of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as ordinary annuities.   When equal payments are made at the end of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.
Which of the following statements is most likely correct? OA perpetuity is an infinite stream of payments in varying amounts occurring at regular time intervals. O The cash flows for an annuity can vary in amounts, and they can occur at irregular intervals. O Time periods that can be used in the time value of money computations are not restricted to months and years. O An annuity due has the first payment occurring one period from now, while an ordinary annuity has the first payment occurring now.

The difference between the PV of an annuity due and the PV of an ordinary annuity is that each of the payments of the annuity due is discounted by one more year (period). Statement 2. The difference between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due is that each of the payments of the annuity due earns interest for one additional year (period). Statement 3. An annuity is a series of equal payments made at fixed equal-length intervals for a specified number of periods.       Statement 3 only. All of the statements are correct. None of the statement is correct. Statement 1 only. Statement 2 only.     Given some amount to be received several years in the future, if the interest rate increases, the present value of the future amount will       Be higher Be variable. Be lower.
