For the next 30 years, you will receive annual payments of $10,000/year. The difference in the present value terms if you receive these payments at the beginning of each year rather than at the end of each year is closest to what value? Assume the discount rate is 6% APR
8150
8300
7850
8000
8450
Present value of first series:
a | Present value of annuity= | P* [ [1- (1+r)-n ]/r ] | ||
P= | Periodic payment | 10,000.00 | ||
r= | Rate of interest per period | |||
Annual interest | 6.00% | |||
Number of payments per year | 1 | |||
Interest rate per period | 0.06/1= | |||
Interest rate per period | 6.000% | |||
n= | number of periods: | |||
Number of years | 30 | |||
Periods per year | 1 | |||
number of payments | 30 | |||
Present value of annuity= | 10000* [ (1- (1+0.06)^-30)/0.06 ] | |||
Present value of annuity= | 137,648.31 |
Present value of alternative series:
Present value of annuity due= | P* [ [1- (1+r)-(n-1) ]/r ] + P | |||
P= | Periodic payment | 10,000.00 | ||
r= | Rate of interest per period: | |||
Annual rate of interest | 6.00000% | |||
Frequency of payment | once in every 12 months | |||
Payments per year | 12/ 12= | 1 | ||
Interest rate per period | 0.06/1= | 6.000% | ||
n= | number of payments: | |||
Number of years | 30 | |||
Payments per year | 1 | |||
number of payments | 30 | |||
Present value of annuity= | 10000* [ [1- (1+0.06)^-(30-1)]/0.06 ] +10000 | |||
Present value of annuity= | 145,907.21 |
Difference = 145,907.21 -137,648.31 = 8259
