    Hi sir , if a question states that there is a fifteen year annuity of $300 starting at once. Interest rates are 6%

    Does the cashflow of $300 start from
    Year 0 – Year 15 ?

    OR

    Year 0 – Year 14 ?

    On what you have written it would be 0 – 14

    Because the answer key in my complete textbook shows that for this question,

    The annuity factor
    = 9.295 + 1
    = 10.295

    When i checked the annuity table,
    the 9. 295 is actually for 14 years not 15 years . Thats why.

    That is correct.

    The discount factor for a flow at time 0 is 1, and the factor for flows from 1 to 14 is the 14 year annuity factor (9.295).

    So for flows 0 – 14, the total factor is 1 + 9.295
