Suppose you won a $75,000 after-tax cash prize in the lottery. You want to start a new business that you think will lose money for a while, after which it will be up and running and bringing in big bucks. You plan to invest the funds immediately in securities that are expected to earn 10% per year. Suppose you would need only $20,000 per year during the start-up period. How long could you operate before you would require cash from the new business, i.e., how long could you receive payments of $20,000 per year? The first withdrawal will be made a year from today, and your answer will contain a fraction of a year.

4.93 years

Is this statement true or false? If you calculated the value of an ordinary annuity, you could find the value of the corresponding annuity due by multiplying the FV of the ordinary annuity by (1 + I), because this would take into account that each annuity due payment occurs one year earlier.

Which of the following statements regarding annuities is NOT CORRECT? a. An annuity is a recurring payment, at set intervals, for a given amount of time. b. If the interest rate is greater than zero, then the future value of an ordinary annuity is greater than the future value of an annuity due.

An annuity due is like an ordinary annuity with the exception that payments occur at the beginning of each period, instead of at the end of each period. d. The general assumption in finance is that annuity payments occur at the end of the period, so this type of payment is referred to as an ordinary annuity.

b. If the interest rate is greater than zero, then the future value of an ordinary annuity is greater than the future value of an annuity due. This occurs because the last payment of the ordinary annuity earns interest, while the last payment of the annuity due does not.
