• Overview of an Ordinary Annuity – PVA

• Cash flows occur at the end of the period

PVA3 = $1,000/(1.07)1 + $1,000/(1.07)2 + $1,000/(1.07)3

• PVA3 = $1,000/(1.07)1 + $1,000/(1.07)2 + $1,000/(1.07)3
• = $934.58 + $873.44 + $816.30 = $2,624.32

• Example of an Ordinary Annuity – PVA

• Cash flows occur at the end of the period

The present value of an ordinary annuity can be viewed as occurring at the beginning of the first cash flow period, whereas the future value of an annuity due can be viewed as occurring at the end of the first cash flow period.

• The present value of an ordinary annuity can be viewed as occurring at the beginning of the first cash flow period, whereas the future value of an annuity due can be viewed as occurring at the end of the first cash flow period.

• Hint on Annuity Valuation

• PVAn = R (PVIFAi%,n) PVA3 = $1,000 (PVIFA7%,3) = $1,000 (2.624) = $2,624

• Valuation Using Table IV

• N: 3 Periods (enter as 3 year-end deposits)
• I/Y: 7% interest rate per period (enter as 7 NOT .07)
• PV: Compute (Resulting answer is positive)
• PMT: $1,000 (negative as you deposit annually)
• FV: Not relevant in this situation (no ending value)
