Module 4 - Simple and General Annuities
Name:
Simple Annuity - the payment interval is also the same as the interest period.
General Annuity - refers to an annuity where the length of the payment interval is not the same as the length of the
interest compounding period.
The time between the successive payment dates of an annuity is called the payment interval.
The time between the first payment interval and last payment interval is called the term of the annuity (t).
The sum of the future values of all the payments to be made during the entire term of the annuity is the future value or
the amount of an annuity (F).
The sum of the present values of all payments to be made during the entire term of the annuity is called the present
value of an annuity (P).
Annuities may be illustrated using a time diagram. The time diagram for an ordinary annuity is given below.
Example 1. ₱ 50,000 deposited every year for 5 years at 8% per year compounded annually.
Solution: Notice that ₱ 50,000 was deposited every year and it is compounded annually. Since the compounding period
is similar to the payment interval, then this is a type of simple annuity.
The cash flow of the given situation can be illustrated in the time diagram below:
a. Monthly payments of ₱ 3,000 for 4 years with interest rate of 3% compounded monthly.
Type of Annuity: ________________
b. Quarterly payment of ₱ 5,000 for 10 years with interest rate of 2% compounded semi-annually.
Type of Annuity: ________________
b. Yearly payment of ₱15,000 for 10 years with interest rate of 8% compounded annually
