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: Orange key, C ALL
Step 2: Proper compounding: press 1, the yellow button, and then P/YR (which is on the first row fourth column below the PMT key).

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)
Not using Present Value key: PV = 0 (press 0 and then PV)
Calculate unknown: Press FV, answer is $1,593.742

Another way of doing this problem,
Step 1: Clear time value of money memory: Orange key, C ALL
Step 2: Change the compounding: 12, orange key, P/YR (first row fourth column). This is to change from monthly payment to annually payment.

Step 3 (Calculation):

Enter number of years: N = 10 (press 10 and then N)
Enter interest rate: i(I/YR) = 120 (press 120 and then I/Y)
Enter payment: PMT = -100 (press 100, +/-, and then PMT)
Not using Present Value key: PV = 0 (press 0 and then PV)
Calculate unknown: Press FV, answer is $1,593.742

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?

Step 1: Clear time value of money memory: Orange key, C ALL
Step 2: Compounding should remain at P/Y = 1 and C/Y = 1

Step 3 (Calculation):

Enter interest rate: i = 10
Enter payment: PMT = 100
Enter Future Value: FV = 1593.74+/-
Not using Present Value key: PV = 0
Calculate unknown: Press N, answer is 9.999 (round to 10)

Another way of doing this problem,
Step 1: Clear time value of money memory: Orange key, C ALL
Step 2: Change the compounding: 12, orange key, P/YR (first row fourth column). This is to change from monthly payment to annually payment.

Step 3 (Calculation):

Enter interest rate: i = 120
Enter payment: PMT = 100
Enter Future Value: FV = 1593.74+/-
Not using Present Value key: PV = 0
Calculate unknown: Press N, answer is 9.999 (round to 10)

c. Unkown: Interest rate needed

Enter Present Value: PV = 0
Enter number of years: N = 10
Calculate unknown: Press i(I/YR), answer is 9.999 (round to 10)

Another way of doing this problem,
Step 1: Clear time value of money memory: Orange key, C ALL
Step 2: Change the compounding: 12, orange key, P/YR (first row fourth column). This is to change from monthly payment to annually payment.

Step 3 (Calculation):

Enter payment: PMT = 100
Enter Future Value: FV = 1593.74+/-
Enter Present Value: PV = 0
Enter number of years: N = 10
Calculate unknown: Press i(I/YR), answer is 119.99 (round to 120) But since this is the annual payment, divide the result by 12 to get the montly payment of 10 percent.

d. Unknown: Payment.
