How is the future value (Appendix A) related to the present value of a single
sum (Appendix B)?
The future value represents the expected worth of a single amount, whereas the

How is the present value of a single sum (Appendix B) related to the present
value of an annuity (Appendix D)?
The present value of a single amount is the discounted value for one future
payment, whereas the present value of an annuity represents the discounted
value of a series of consecutive payments of equal amount.

Does inflation have anything to do with making a dollar today worth more than
a dollar tomorrow?
Inflation makes a dollar today worth more than a dollar in the future. Because
inflation tends to erode the purchasing power of money, funds received today
will be worth more than the same amount received in the future.

At a growth (interest) rate of 8 percent annually, how long will it take for a sum
to double? To triple? Select the year that is closest to the correct answer.
Solution:
Appendix A
If the sum is doubling, then the tabular value must equal 2.
In Appendix A, looking down the 8% column, we find the
factor closest to 2 (1.999) on the 9-year row. The factor
closest to 3 (2.937) is on the 14-year row.

As stated in the chapter, the annuity payments are assumed to come at the end
of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). However, an exception
occurs when the annuity payments come at the beginning of each period
(termed an annuity due). To find the present value of an annuity due, you
subtract one from n an add 1 to the tabular value. To find the future value of an
annuity, you add 1 to n and subtract 1 from the tabular value. For example, to
find the future value of a $100 payment at the beginning of each period for five
periods at 10 percent, you would go to Appendix C for n = 6 and I = 10%. You
look up a value of 7.716 and subtract 1 from it for an answer of 6.716 or
$671.60 ($100 * 6.716).
What is the future value of a 10-year annuity of $2,000 per period where

Your grandfather has offered you a choice of one of the three following
alternatives: $5,000 now; $1,000 a year for each years; or $12,000 at the end of
eight years. Assuming you could earn 11 percent annually, which alternative
should you choose? If you could earn 12 percent annually, would you still
choose the same alternative?
Solution:
(first alternative) Present value of $5,000 received now:
$5,000
(second alternative) Present value of annuity of $1,000 for
eight years: Appendix D
PVA = A * PVIFA
= $1,000 * PVIFA (11%, 8 years)

(third alternative) Present value of $12,000 received in
eight years: Appendix B
PV = FV * PVIF
= $12,000 * PVIF (11%, 8 years)
= $12,000 * .434

You need $23,956 at the end of nine years, and your only investment outlet is a
7 percent long-term certificate of deposit (compounded annually). With the
certificate of deposit, you make an initial investment at the beginning of the
first year.

achieve this objective?

to achieve this same objective?

is for $12,000 per year and is designed to last eight years.
If the discount rate for the calculation is 11 percent, what is the most she should
have paid for the annuity?

You are chairperson of the investment fund for the Continental Soccer League.
You are asked to set up a fund of semiannual payments to be compounded
semiannually to accumulate a sum of $200,000 after ten years at an 8 percent
annual rate (20 payments). The first payment into the fund is to take place six
months from today, and the last payment is to take place at the end of the tenth
year.
a. Determine how much the semiannual payment should be. (Round to whole
numbers.)
On the day after the sixth payment is made (the beginning of the fourth
year) the interest rate goes up to a 10 percent annual rate, and you can earn
a 10 percent annual rate on funds that have been accumulated as well as all
future payments into the fund. Interest is to be compounded semiannually
on all funds.
b. Determine how much the revised semiannual payments should be after this
rate change (there are 14 payments and compounding dates). The next
payment will be in the middle of the fourth year. (Round all values to whole
numbers.)
Solution:
Appendix C
a. A

Your younger sister, Jennifer, will start college in five years. She has just
informed your parents that she wants to go to Eastern State U., which will cost
$18,000 per year for four years (cost assumed to come at the end of each year).
Anticipating Jennifer's ambitions, your parents started investing $3,000 per year
five years ago and will continue to do so for five more years.
How much more will your parents have to invest each year for the next five

Jennifer (from problem 34) is now 18 years old (five years have passed), and
she wants to get married instead of going to college. Your parents have
