 UNIT 9  :  MATHEMATICS OF INVESTMENT

 LESSON 3: ORDINARY ANNUITY HOMEWORK QUESTIONS PAGE 1

 

 

Quick Review:

Definition:  A sequence of payments made at regular intervals is called an annuity. 

 

Interest Period   0       1       2       3                                                                                                      18   19  20

           

Payment                       200       200       200                                                                                                                                      200   200  200

 

An ordinary annuity has the following properties.

Text Box: ·	The first payment is always at the end of the first interest period of the annuity.  This will be numbered 1 on your time line.
·	The accumulated sum of the future values of each payment at the end of the annuity’s term is called the amount or accumulated value of the annuity. This will be at the last number on your time line.
·	The future value of each payment is evaluated using the formula   A = P(1 + i)n
·	This accumulated amount forms a geometric series (see below).
·	A time line is very helpful in illustrating an annuity.
·	You can use either the geometric series formula OR the amount of an annuity formula (see below) to find the amount of an annuity.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Text Box: P = principal [amount borrowed                                
       or invested]
n = number of interest periods
i  = interest rate per interest period as  
      as a decimal
A = accumulated amount (due or payable)
Text Box: Formula:
 A = P(1+ i)n
