The present value of an annuity is the sum of the discounted value of all future cash flows. You have the opportunity to invest in several annuities. Which of the following 10-year annuities has the greatest present value (PV)? Assume that all annuities earn the same positive interest rate. O An annuity that pays $500 at the beginning of every six months O An annuity that pays $500 at the end of every six months O An annuity that pays $1,000 at the beginning of each year O An annuity that pays $1,000 at the end of each year An ordinary annuity selling at $4,947.11 today promises to make equal payments at the end of each year for the next eight years (N). If the annuity's appropriate interest rate (1) remains at 6.50% during this time, the annual annuity payment (PMT) will be You just won the lottery. Congratulations! The jackpot is $35,000,000, paid in eight equal annual payı The first payment on the lottery jackpot will be made today. In present value terms, you really won -assuming…
Tick all those statements on perpetuities that are correct. a. The present value of a perpetuity increases if the interest rate increases. b. If I multiply the present value of a perpetuity with the interest rate then I get the value of a single payment of the cashflow stream. c. A perpetuity describes a constant cashflow at the end of each year that continues infinitely long. d. The present value of a perpetuity is infinite as all the payments add up to infinity. e. The present value value of a perpetuity is independent of the interest rate.

15. Which of these answers best describes an ordinary annuity? Select one: a. A series of equally sized regularly occurring cash flows extending indefinitely into the future, with the cash flows occurring at the end of each period b. A series of equally sized regularly occurring cash flows extending indefinitely into the future, with the cash flows occurring at the start of each period c. A series of equally sized regularly occurring cash flows extending n periods into the future, with the cash flows occurring at the end of each period d. A series of equally sized regularly occurring cash flows extending n periods into the future, with the cash flows occurring at the start of each period
Many assets provide a series of cash inflows over time; and many obligations require a series of payments. When the payments are equal and are made at fixed intervals, the series is an annuity. There are three types of annuities: (1) Ordinary (deferred) annuity, (2) Annuity due, and (3) Growing annuity. One can find an annuity's future and present values, the interest rate built into annuity contracts, and the length of time it takes to reach a financial goal using an annuity. Growing annuities are often used in the area of financial planning. Their analysis is more complex and often easier solved using a financial spreadsheet, so we will limit our discussion here to the first two types of annuities. The future value of an ordinary annuity, FVAN, is the total amount one would have at the end of the annuity period if each payment (PMT) were invested at a given interest rate and held to the end of the annuity period. The equation is: FVAN= PMT Each payment of an annuity due is compounded…
