Answer:
The Answer is gonna be Yes
Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A lottery ticket states that you will receive $250 every year for the next ten years.
A) i=0.06 ordinary annuity
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual payment
FV= {250*[(1.06^10)-1]}/0.06= $3,295.20
PV= 3,295.20/1.06^10=1,840.02
B) i=0.06 annuity due (beginning of the year)
FV= 3,295.20 + [(250*1.06^10)-1]= $3492.91
PV= 3492.91/1.06^10= $1,950.42
C) The interest gets compounded for one more period in an annuity due.
Answer: $250,096
Explanation:
To find out the amount that should be invested today, one should find the present values of both figures and add them up:
Interest rate should be periodically adjusted so: 8% / 2 = 4% per semi annum
No of periods should be adjusted as well.
Amount to be invested today:

= $250,096
