OBJECTIVE 1 Define the basic terms involved with annuities.
In Module 2, we discussed lump sums that were invested for periods of time. In
this module, we talk about an annuity, or a series of equal payments made at regular
intervals. Monthly mortgage payments, quarterly payments by a company into an
employee retirement account, and monthly checks paid by Social Security to a retired
couple are examples of annuities. There are two basic types of annuities. One type
grows as regular payments are made and it accumulates compound interest. Regular
payments into a retirement account or college savings account are examples of this type
of annuity. A second type of annuity involves regular payments made out of an
accumulated sum. Monthly payments from a retirement fund are an example.
Retirement funds can in fact represent both types, with money being added on a regular
basis while an employee is working, then with payments being made from the fund
after the employee retires will include a discussion of annuities from which payments
are made. The basic terms involved are the same for both types.
An ordinary annuity is one in which payments are made at the end of each
period, such as at the end of each month. The payment period is the length of time
between payments and the term of the annuity is the total time needed for all
payments. Interest calculations for annuities are done using compound interest. The
total amount in an annuity on a future date is the amount, compound amount, or
future value of the annuity. These terms are used interchangeably.

The amount an annuity grows to can be found using compound interest techniques
from the previous module. For example, suppose a firm makes deposits of P30,000 at
the end of each year for 6 years into an investment earning 8% compounded annually.
Use the compound interest tables in module 2 for 5 years and 8% to find the future
value of the first payment as follows:
P 30,000 * 1.46933 = P44,079.9
 The future value of the annuity is the sum of the compound amounts of all six
payments. The annuity ends on the day of the last payment. Therefore, the last
payment, which is made at the end of year 6, earns no interest.

The future value of the annuity is P 220, 075.9.

Find the total amount deposited in the annuity and interest earned as follows:
Total deposits = 6 years * P 30,000 per year = P180,000
Interest earned = Future value of annuity - Total deposits
=P 220,075.9 – P 180,000
= P 40,075.9

OBJECTIVE 2 Find the amount of an annuity.

 The amount of an annuity can also be found using the amount of an annuity table
on the next page. The number from the table is the amount or future value of an annuity
with a payment of P 1. The amount of an annuity with any payment is found as follows.

Finding Amount of an Annuity

Amount = Payment * Table Factor from amount of an annuity table

 As a check, reconsider the annuity of P 30,000 at the end of each year for 6 years
at 8% compounded annually. Locate 8% at the top of the table and 6 periods in the far
left (or far right) column to find 7.33593.
Amount = P 30,000 * 7.33593 = P 220,077.9
This amount is identical to the amount calculated earlier, but sometimes the estimates
from the table differ slightly from those found using a calculator.
Table Factors for an Amount/Future Value of Annuity

Example 1
A father deposits P10,000 every quarter for 5 years in a firm that pays 12%
compounded quarterly. Assuming no withdrawals are made, how much would be in his
account at the end of five years?

Solution
 Deposits per quarter = 10,000
12%
Interest earned per quarter =3 % for 5 years x 4 = 20 quarters. Look across
4
the top of the table for 3, and down the side for 20 periods to find 26.87037

Amount = P 10,000 x 26.87037= P 268,703.7

Total deposits = 20 quarters * P 10,00 per year = P 200,000
Interest earned = Future value of annuity - Total deposits
= P 268,703.7 – P 200,000
= P 68,703.7

Quick Check 1
At the end of every quarter, P 2000 is put into a educational plan that earns 6%
compounded quarterly. Find the future value in 5 years.

Future value of an ordinary annuity can also be determined using its formula and it is
given by:

Amount of an Annuity or Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity (FV OA)

FV OA=Pmt ( (1+ i)n−1

i )
Where FV OA=Future value∨amount
Pmt= periodic deposit∨ payment
n=number of deposits∨ payments made i=interest rate per compounding period

Example 2
Mark Ezekiel wants to put up his Art Studio 5 years from now. If he deposits P
5,000 from his monthly
 salary for the next 5 years in an account that yields 12% compounded monthly. How
much does he have by that time?

Solution
Amount deposited at the end of each month is P 5000 for 5 years x 12 = 60
months
12%
Using Pmt= P5,000, n=60 and =1 %
12

FV OA=Pmt (
(1+ i)n−1
i )
FV OA=P 5,000 ( (1+ 0.01)60−1
0.01 )
=P 408,348.35(rounded)

Quick Check 2
Verify Quick Check 1 using the formula.
Objective 3. Use the formula to find the present value of an ordinary annuity.

The present value of an ordinary annuity is the total of the present values of all the
payments of the annuity. To get the present value, assume an annuity of n number of
payments at rate i per period. Calculate the present value of each payment to the start of
the annuity and take their sum. The total is the present value of the annuity.
There is also a corresponding table factor for Present Value of an Ordinary
Annuity given below.
Example 3
An alumnus in a certain university wants to provide a P 250,000 research
fellowship fund at the end of each year for the next five years. If the University can
invest the money at 10% compounded annually, how much should a man give now to
setup the fund for the scholarship?

Solution
Annual fellowship fund = P 250,000
10 %
Interest earned per year =10 % for 5 years x 1 = 5.
1
Look across the top of the table for 10, and down the side for 5 periods to find
3.79079
Present Value = P 250,000 x 3.79079= P 947,697.5
 The amount P 947, 697.5 is the lump sum need to be deposited in an investment
earning 10% compounded annually to be able to provide P 250,000 pesos every end of
the year for 5 years. At the end of the 5th year of the scholarship, the fund is fully
exhausted. The fund was able to provide P 250,000 x 5= P 1,250,000 by investing P
947, 697.50

The present value of an ordinary annuity formula can also be used and it is given
by:

Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity (FVOA)

PV OA=Pmt (
1−(1+i)−n
i )
Where PV OA =Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity
Pmt= periodic deposit∨ payment
n=number of deposits∨ payments made i=interest rate per compounding period
Example 4

A company wants to purchase a machine the will require a payment of

P100,000 at the end each 6 months for the next four years. How much should the
company invest at present to cover for the semiannual payment if the money can be
invested 12% compounded semiannually?

Solution

Amount to be paid at the end of each month is P 100,000 for 4 years x 2 = 8

12%
Using Pmt= P100,000, n=8 and =6 %
2

` PV OA=Pmt ( 1−(1+i)−n
i )
PV OA=P 100,000 ( 1−(1+0.06)−8
0.06 )
=P 620,979.38(rounded)

The value can verified using the table factor for present value. Given i=6% and
n=8, the corresponding table factor is 6.20979
Present Value = P 100,000 x 6.20979= P 620, 979
The difference in decimal places is due to the limit decimal places used by the
table factor.

Example 5: (Present Value is Given)

To help finance the purchase of house and lot, couple borrows P 350,000. The

loan is to be repaid in equal monthly installment over a period of 8 years. If the interest

rate is 15 compounded monthly, how much is the monthly payment?

Solution:

Amortization of loans are examples of application of present value, for this case,

P350,000 is a Present value. The number of payments, n, is 8 years times 12

compounding periods per year is 96 monthly payments. The interest compounding

period is 15 divided by 12 compounding periods is 1.25%. Then the size of each

payment is,
 PV OA P350,000
Pmt= =

Example 6: (Cash Value and Down payment given)

A man wants to buy a car worth P 450,000. He pays P150,000 down payment and
agrees to [ay the rest by paying in monthly installments for 5 years. If the money is
worth 12% compounded monthly, how much is the monthly payment?

Solution
Down payment= P150,000

Cash Value = P450,000

Interest compounding period, i = 12/12= 1%

n=(5 years)(12)=60 months

Present Value= Cash value – Down payment= P450,000-P150,000=P300,000

PV OA P 300,000

Example 7: Future Value is given

 A young accountant wishes to accumulate a fund amounting to 1 million pesos for

future business ventures ten years from now. How much should be invested at the end

of each quarter in an investment firm earning 8% compounded quarterly?

Solution:
FV= P 1,000,000
i= 8%/4= 2%
n= (4) (10 years)=40

Finding the interest rate in an ordinary annuity

The interest rate per compounding period, I can be solved by means of

interpolation using table factors since there is no direct formula can be derived.

Example:
At what nominal rate compounded monthly is P 200,000 the present value of
P 10,000 payable every end of each month for 4 years?

Solution:
PV= P200,000
Pmt= P10,000
n= (12)(4 years)=48

From

PV OA=Pmt ( i ) (
1−( 1+ i )−n
→
i )
1−( 1+i )−n PV OA 200,000
=
Pmt
=
10,000
=20

From the present value table factor, for n= 48 with unknown i,

the(1−( 1+i )−48

i )
=20 which is between i=5%(21.19513) and i=4%(18.07716)
 Linear interpolation states that, the

if the two known points are given by the coordinates (x0 ,

y0) and (x1 , y1) , the linear interpolant is the straight line
between these points. For a value x in the interval (x0 , x1) , the
value y along the straight line is given from the equation of
slopes

( y− y 0
x−x 0 )(
=
y 1− y 0
x 1−x 0 )
which can be derived geometrically from the figure on the
right. Solving this equation for y, which is the unknown value
at x, gives

which is the formula for linear interpolation in the interval (x0 , x1) .

Transforming the given data of the problem into coordinates, as how in the table below,

Table factor interest

18.07716 5%  (x0 , y0) (18.07716, 5% )
20 i (x,y) (20, i)
21.19513 4% (x1 , y1) (21.19513, 4% )

Therefore, y is the unknown value of i.

Solving for the value of y

y= y 0+ ( x−x 0 )
( y 1− y 0
x 1−x 0 )
y=0.05+ ( 20−18.07716 ) ( 21.19513−18.07716
0.04−0.05
)
 y=0.0438× 100
y=4.383 %

Which implies that the nominal rate is, 4.383 % ×12=52.6 %

compounded monthly.

Example 8:
Payments of P10,000 each are made every 6 months. At what rate compounded
semi-annually will these payments amount to P143,000 in 5 years?

Solution:

On the Future Value table for n=10, the value of =14.3 with unknown

Transforming the given data of the problem into coordinates, as how in the table below,

Table Factor Interest

y=0.06+ ( 14.3−13.18079 ) ( 14.48656−13.18079

)
y=0.07714 ×100
y=7.714 %
Which implies that the nominal rate is, 7.714 % ×2=15.428 %
compounded semi-annually.
Finding the term of an ordinary annuity

The number of payments n of an ordinary annuity can be determined if the future

value or present value, size of each periodic payment and interest rate is given. When

the integral number of payments is not exactly the equivalent to the original amount or

present value, a smaller concluding or final payment can be made on period after the

last full payment, but a certain amount of money is to be accumulated, this smaller final

payment may not be necessary because the interest after the last payment will equal or

exceed the balance needed.

Formula of n if Future value is given:

FVx i
log ( +1)
Pmt
n=
log (1+i)

Formula of n if Present value is given:

 PVx i
log (1− )
Pmt
n=
−log (1+ i)

Example 9:

If P 1750 is deposited in a fund at the end of 3 months, when will the fund

amount at least P75,000 if the interest rate is 12% compounded quarterly?

Solution:

Pmt=P 1750
12 %
Future Value=P 75,000 i= =3 %
4
m=4

Using the formula for n where FV is given,

FVx i 75000 x 0.03

log ( +1) log ( +1)
Pmt 1750
n= = =27.97
log (1+i) log (1+0.03)

This means that the fund will be less than P75,000 just after the 27 th payment

and greater than P 75,000 just after the 28 th payment. Thus the fund will amount

at least P P75000 at the end of 28 quarters or equivalent to 7 years (28/4=7).

It should be remembered that n should be an integral number of payments.

Example 10
 A man borrows P 80,000 at an interest rate of 24% compounded monthly. He

agrees to pay P 5000 at the end of each month until the final payment date. How long

must he pay?

Solution:

Pmt=P 5000
PV= P80,000
24 %
i= =2 %
12

m=12

To find t, we use formula for n given a present value.

PVx i 80,000 x 0.02

log (1− ) log (1− )
Pmt 5000
n= = =19.48
−log (1+ i) −log (1+0.02)

This means that the present value of 19 payments is less than P80,000 but if 20

payments are made, the present value will be over P80,000. Thus the debtor must pay

19 whole payments of P5000 plus amount less than P5000 at the end of the 20th month.

The next example will provide a computation for the size of the last payment

which is less than the periodic payment

size.`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Example 11:

A man wants to accumulate P50,000 by making deposits of P10,000 at the

end of each year. If he gets 3% of his money, how many regular payments will he
make and what is the size of the last payment if there’s any?

Solution:
 F=P 50,000
Pmt=P 10,000 at the end of each year
3%
i= =3 %
1
m=1

Using the formula for n where FV is given,

FVx i 50,000 x 0.03

log ( +1) log ( +1)
Pmt 10,000
n= = =4.73
log (1+i) log (1+0.03)

The value 4.73 means that 4 regular payments of P10,000 and the 5th payment is
less than 10,000. To find the value of the last payment, we use the concept of
equation of values.
P41,836.27 P 50,0000
0 1 2 3 4 5
CD
P 10,000 P 10,000 P 10,000 P 10,000 x

Step 1: Find the future value of the 4 regular payments of P10,000

( ) ( )
n 4
(1+ i) −1 (1+.03) −1
FV OA=Pmt =10,000 =41,836.27
i 0.03

Step 2: Use the value of FV for n=4 and setup the equation of value where the
comparison date is at the 5th year as indicated in the timeline given above. Then
the equation of values

P41,836.27(1+.03)1 + x=P 50,000

x=P50,000- P41,836.27(1+.03)1
x= P6908.64
Thus, the man needs to make 4 regular deposits of P10,000 each end of the year
and P6908.64 at the end of the 5th year in order to accumulate the exact amount of
P50,000 in his account within 5 years.

Example 12:
 A father left his son an inheritance of P500,000 which will be released in
monthly pension of P10,000 which accumulates at 12% compounded monthly.
How long will the inheritance last? Determine the size of last amount to be
received.

Solution:
PV=P 500,000
Pmt=P 20,000 at the end of each month
12 %
i= =1 %
12
m=12

To find t, we use formula for n given a present value.

PVx i 500,000 x 0.01

log (1− ) log (1− )
Pmt 10000
n= = =69.66
−log (1+ i) −log (1+0.01)

The pension will last 70 months, in which the son will receive P10,000 69 times and
the 70th will be smaller than P10,000. To solve for the last month’s pension,

P500,000 P986,894
0 1 2 3 67 68 69 70
CD
P 10,000 P 10,000 P 10,000 P 10,000 P 10,000 P 10,000

Step 1: Get the future value of 69 regular payment of P10,000

( ) ( )
n 69
(1+ i) −1 (1+.01) −1
FV OA=Pmt =10,000 =P 986,894.42
i 0.01

Step 2: Use the value of FV for n=69 and setup the equation of values where the
comparison date is at the 70th month as indicated in the timeline given above. Then
the equation of values

P 986, 894.42(1+.01)1 + x = P 500,000(1+.01)70

x= P 500,000(1+.01)70 - P 986, 894.42(1+.01)1

x=6,618.32
Therefore, the son will receive 69 times of P10,000 and P 6,618.32 on the 70 th
month as the last pension.
