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 first row of the calculator.
Always press the number first before pressing the Time Value of Money Keys.
Step 1: Clear time value of money memory: 2nd CLEAR
ALL (third row above the INPUT KEY)
Step 2: Proper compounding: press 1, the yellow
button (work as 2nd shift key), and then P/YR (which is on the
first row fourth column above the PMT key). To check, press the yellow button
and then INPUT. (you should be able to see 1_P_Yr)
Step 3 (Calculation):
Enter number of years: N = 10 (press 10 and then N)
Enter interest rate: i(I/YR) = 10 (press 10 and then
I/Y)
Enter payment: PMT = -100 (press 100, +/-, and then PMT)
