• What if we want to find the required payment amount that will
equate to a desired PV?
• We can rearrange the formula to find this.

• Example: Mayank purchased a one-bedroom condo in beautiful
downtown Toronto for $1.3 million. Mayank funded the home with a
$0.3 million down payment and a 25-year, $1.0 million mortgage
bearing 4.8% interest per annum, compounded annually. Assuming
Mayank makes one mortgage payment per year, how large will his
payment be?

• What if we want to find the number of required payments that it
would take to pay off an annuity?

• Example: Jay owes $500 on a credit card bearing interest at 20% per
annum, compounded annually. Jay’s minimum annual payment is
$101. If Jay makes only the minimum required payments, how long
will it take to pay off the credit card?

• What if we want to find the required discount rate to equate a given
series of payments to a given PV?
• Not possible by algebra alone. If you don’t believe me, try it for yourself!
• Can be approximated with trial and error. More efficient and precise to use
software, such as Excel.

FV of Annuities
• Similarly to PVs, there is an efficient way to find the FV of an annuity:

• Example: Yoram would like to retire in 45 years with $2.0 million in a
brokerage account. Yoram expects the brokerage account to provide a
return of 8.5% per annum. If Yoram makes one uniform payment to
his brokerage account every year, how large should the payment be to
meet his retirement goal?

Annuity Due
• If we used the PVIFA to value an annuity due, we would theoretically
be discounting every payment by one period too many.
• The first payment occurs immediately (t=0) so should not be discounted, the
second payment occurs at t=1, … , the nth payment occurs at t = n+1
• We can fix this with either of the following methods:

• What if an annuity continues forever?
• We call this a “perpetuity”
• Mathematically very simple compared to finite annuities
• g = rate of growth

• Example: Enbridge is expected to pay a dividend of $3.50 next year.
Thereafter, the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of
2.0% per annum. An appropriate discount rate for Enbridge is 12%.
What is the present value of the dividends if they continue forever?

second term is the “discount” we apply due to the finite period.

• Example: Tiki has just retired. Her pension plan will pay $100,000 in
her first year of retirement, and grow at a rate of 2.0% per annum. An
appropriate discount rate for the pension is 4.0% per annum. What is
the present value of Tiki’s retirement plan if it pays out for 30 years?

Comparing Rates: The Effect of
Compounding
• 12% annually is not the same as 1% per month!
• The 1% per month compounds 12 times per year, compared to just once for the
12% per year. So FV (PV) will be higher (lower) using 1% per month
• Often for a rate to be quoted as “10% per year compounded quarterly”. This is
mildly deceptive to an uniformed party. 10% is the “annual percentage rate
(APR)”
• Effective Annual Rate: the annual rate that is equivalent to the stated
interest rate.
• Allows us to easily compare interest rates with different compounding periods
