Annuities. Time Value of Money Problems using multiple
payments of equal value
a. Future Value of a Regular Annuity
What is the Future Value of 10 equal end of period payments of $100 each,
invested at an annual interest rate of 10 percent
Note:
All the Time Value of Money keys are on the third row of the calculator.
Always press the number first before pressing the Time Value of Money Keys.
Clear time value of money memory: 2nd CLR TVM (above the FV
key)
Compounding should remain at P/Y = 1 (third row second column), ENTER
(first row second column), down arrow (first row fourth column), C/Y
= 1.
Enter number of years: N = 10
Enter interest rate: i = 10 (press 10 and then I/Y)
Enter payment: PMT = 100 +/- (press 100,+/-, so it looks
like -100, and then PMT)
Not using Present Value key: PV = 0
Calculate unknown: CPT FV, answer is $1,593.742 (CPT can
be found on the first row first column)
Another way of doing this problem,
Clear time value of money memory: 2nd CLR TVM (above the FV
key)
Change the compounding: 2nd, P/Y=12 (third row second column), ENTER
(first row second column),
down arrow (first row fourth column), C/Y = 12. This is
to change from monthly payment to annually payment.
Enter number of years: N = 10
Enter interest rate: i = 120 (press 120 and then I/Y)

like -100, and then PMT)
Not using Present Value key: PV = 0
Calculate unknown: CPT FV, answer is $1,593.742 (CPT can
be found on the first row first column)
b. Unkown: Number of years.
$1,593.74 is needed sometime in the future. How long, investing $100 per year, earning
10 percent annually, would it take to amass this amount of money?
Clear time value of money memory: 2nd CLR TVM

Another way of doing this problem,
Clear time value of money memory: 2nd CLR TVM (above the FV
key)
Change the compounding: 2nd, P/Y=12 (third row second column), ENTER
(first row second column),
down arrow (first row fourth column), C/Y = 12. This is
to change from monthly payment to annually payment.

c. Unkown: Interest rate needed
Once again, $1,593.74 is needed, and you know ahead of time that you have
10 years to obtain it. What annual interest rate would a $100 annuity have to earn for you
to achieve this goal?
Clear time value of money memory: 2nd CLR TVM
Compounding should remain at P/Y = 1 and C/Y = 1
Enter payment: PMT = 100
Enter Future Value: FV = 1593.74+/-
Enter Present Value: PV = 0

key)
Change the compounding: 2nd, P/Y=12 (third row second column), ENTER
(first row second column),
down arrow (first row fourth column), C/Y = 12. This is
to change from monthly payment to annually payment.
Enter payment: PMT = 100
Enter Future Value: FV = 1593.74+/-
Enter Present Value: PV = 0
Enter number of years: N = 10
Calculate unknown: CPT i (I/Y), answer is 120. But,
since this is the annual payment, divide the result by12, therefore the answer is 9.999
(round to 10)

key)
Change the compounding: 2nd, P/Y=12 (third row second column), ENTER
(first row second column),
down arrow (first row fourth column), C/Y = 12. This is
to change from monthly payment to annually payment.

Enter Future Value: FV = 0
Calculate unknown: CPT PV,
answer is $316.99
Another way of doing this problem,

*** The previous problems all deal
with a regular annuities. The next set deals with an annuity due. The difference being
that with an annuity due, payments are made at the beginning of the compounding periods.
Annuities Due: Time Value of Money Problems using
equal beginning of period payments.
To change the setting on the calculator from regular to annuity due:
