An annuity-due has 26 payments of $300 per period. The effective
rate of interest per period is 8% for the first 12 periods and 5%
for the following 14 periods.
(A) Find the accumulated value of the annuity using the portfolio
method. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
(B) Find the accumulated value of the annuity using the yield-curve
method.. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
A. Accumulated value of the Annuity By using Portfolio Method:
Amount per period = 300
No of Periods = 26
Effective Interest Rate = 8% for 1st 12 periods
= 5% for balance periods(i.e 14)
Annuity factor for 1st 12 periods = 7.54
Annuity factor for remaining 14 periods = 9.9
Accumulated value = 300*7.54 +300*9.9
= 2262 + 2970
= 5232
