ANNUITIES
Annuities
2
In previous discussion regarding time value of money, we were looking at a cash
flows through time, calculating their future and present values.
Now we will extend these formulas to find the future and present values of a
constant/regular stream of cash flows.
Annuity Simple Definition = A fixed or pre-decided sum of money paid to
someone each year
Annuity Advanced Definition = We define an annuity as a series of equal dollar
payments that are made at the end of equidistant points in time (such as monthly,
quarterly, or annually) over a finite period of time (such as three years).
Types of Annuities
3
Payments for an annuity can be made at either the beginning or the end of each
period.
If payments are made at the end of each period, the annuity is often referred to
as an ordinary annuity.
An ordinary annuity is the most common form of annuity and is oftentimes
referred to simply as an annuity.
However, some annuities have payments that are made at the beginning of each
period, such as apartment rent. This type of annuity is called Annuity Due
So, there are two main types of annuities
1. Ordinary annuity
2. Annuity Due

The Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity
What is the future value of a 7%, 5-year ordinary annuity that pays $300 each year?
If this were an annuity due, what would its future value be?
In Case of Future Value of Ordinary Annuity
Step # 1 FVn = PMT x [{(1+i)n-1}/i] (1+i) Step # 7 FV5 = 300 x 5.7507 x 1.07
Step # 2 FV5 = 300 x [{(1+0.07)5-1}/0.07] (1+0.07) Step # 8 FV5 = 1845.97
Step # 3 FV5 = 300 x [{(1.07)5-1}/0.07] (1.07)
Step # 4 FV5 = 300 x [{1.4025-1}/0.07] (1.07)
Step # 5 FV5 = 300 x [0.4025/0.07] (1.07)
Step # 5 FV5 = 300 x [0.4025/0.07] (1.07)
The Future Value of an Annuity Due

What is the future value of a 7%, 5-year ordinary annuity that pays $300 each year?
If this were an annuity due, what would its future value be?
Interpretation = you deposit $345 at the end of each year in a savings account
earning 8 percent annual interest in order to accumulate $5,000 at the end of 10
years
Perpetuities
A perpetuity is simply an annuity that continues forever or has no maturity.
It is difficult to conceptualize such a cash flow stream that goes on forever. One such
example, however, is the dividend stream on a share of preferred stock.
In theory, this dividend stream will go on as long as the firm continues to pay dividends,
so technically the dividends on a share of preferred stock form an infinite annuity, or
perpetuity.
