10 An Example Fnd an expresson n terms of symbols of the type a n and s n, for the present value of an annuty n whch there are a total of r payments of 1. The frst payment s to be made 7 years from today, and the remanng payments happen at three year ntervals. The present value of ths annuty can be expressed n terms of the annual dscount factor as v 7 + v 10 + v v 3r+4 Calculatng the partal sum of the geometrc seres above, we get v 7 v 3r+7 1 v 3 = (1 v 7 ) + (1 v 3r+7 ) 1 v 3 = 1 v v 3 1 v 3r+7 Caveat: The expresson we obtaned above s not unque! = a 3r+7 a 7 a 3

14 An Example: Unknown fnal payment An nvestment of $1000 s used to make payments of $100 at the end of each year for as long as possble wth a smaller fnal payment to be made at the tme of the last regular payment. If nterest s 7% convertble semannually, fnd the number of payments and the amount of the total fnal payment.

15 An Example: Unknown fnal payment (cont d) Usng the expresson for the present value of ths annuty, we get the equaton of value at tme an s = 1000 where n denotes the unknown number of regular nterest perods that the annuty lasts. The equaton of value yelds a n = 10 s = We get that n = 36 and that 18 regular payments and an addtonal smaller payment must be made. Let R denote the amount of the smaller fnal payment. Then, the tme n equaton of value reads as Thus, R = $10.09 R s s = 1000 (1.035) 36
