Question

Time value of money calculations can be solved using a mathematical equation, a financial calculator, or a spreadsheet. Which of the following equations can be used to solve for the future value of an ordinary annuity?
1) PMT x {1 – [1/(1 + r)nn]}/r
2) PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r}
3) FV/(1 + r)nn
4) PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r} x (1 + r)

Answer 1

Answer:

b.  PMT x {[(1 + r)nn – 1]/r}

Explanation:

The formula that should be calculated for the future value of an ordinary annuity is shown below:

= PMT × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r}

Here

PMT denotes the coupon payment

r denotes the rate of interest

n denotes the time period

So as per the given situation, the option b is correct
