Answer:

Discount factor will be 0.735

And annuity factor will be 3.312

Explanation:

We have given rate of interest r = 8 %

Time period n = 4 year

We have to calculate discount factor

Discount factor is equal to =\frac{1}{(1+r)^n}=\frac{1}{(1+0.08)^4}=\frac{1}{1.08^4}=0.735

So discount factor will be equal to 0.735

Annuity factor is equal to (1-\frac{\frac{1}{(1+r)^n}}{r})

So annuity factor will be equal to (1-\frac{\frac{1}{(1+r)^n}}{r})=(1-\frac{\frac{1}{(1+0.08)^4}}{0.08})=3.312

So annuity factor will be 3.312

Annuity factor is determined for a progression of equivalent installment/receipt for indicated time frame.  

In any case, discounting factor  is determined distinctly for discover the present estimation of sum which will be put resources into year 4.
