annuity

Yyaaseen12y ago
an investor is to receive an annuity of $19260 for six years commencing at the end of year 1. It has a present value of $86400. what is the rate of interest?? using the formula.. i'm getting confused :(

You don't need to use the formula. 19260 x annuity discount factor = PV of 86400 So the annuity discount factor for 6 years must equal 86400/19260 = 4.486. So go to the tables and look along the 6 year row and see which rate of interest gives an annuity factor of 4.486.
