Question

If the present value of an ordinary, 6-year annuity is $5,900 and interest rates are 7.5 percent, what’s the present value of the same annuity due? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

What's the present value of a $590 annuity payment over four years if interest rates are 8 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Thank you

Explanation / Answer

Preesent value of annuity = P (1-(1+r)^-n/r)

5900 = P(1-(1+7.5%)^-6/7.5%)

P = $1256.96 (approx.)

Present value of annuity due = (P [(1 - (1 / (1 + r)^n)) / r]) x (1+r)

= (1256.96[(1-(1/1+7.5%)^6/7.5%]) * (1+7.5%)

= $$6,342.48

Present value of a $590 annuity payment over four years if interest rates are 8 percent

= Present Value = P (1-(1+r)^-n/r)

= $1,954.15
