You are considering two equally risky annuities, each of which pays $5,000 per year for 10 years. Investment ORD is an ordinary

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

A rational investor would be willing to pay more for DUE than for ORD, so their market prices should differ.

Explanation:

If both annuities pay the same amount ($5,000 per year), then the present value of the annuity due will always be higher than the present value of the ordinary annuity. Therefore, an investor will always be willing to pay more (at equal risk) for the annuity due than the ordinary annuity.

E.g. let say that both annuities carry a 10% interest rate.

The present value of the annuity due is:

PV = $5,000 + [$5,000 x 5.7590 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 9 periods)] = $33,795

The present value of the ordinary annuity is:

PV = $5,000 x 6.1446 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 10 periods) = $30,723

The logic behind this is that $1 today is worth more than $1 tomorrow, and the annuity due's first payment is today, while the ordinary annuity's first payment is in 1 year.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The amount received in cash is $2,328

Aneli [31]

Answer:

For seller = $196.44

For buyer = $4583.56

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Taxes for the year = $4,780

Date of closing = January 16

since the day of closing belongs to the buyer therefore the seller owns the tax for 15 days only

Per day tax = [ Taxes for the year ] ÷ 365

= $4,780 ÷ 365

= $13.095 per day

Hence,

Proration will be

for seller = $13.095 per day × 15 days

= $196.44

For buyer = $4,780 - $196.44

= $4583.56
