Hello, Sir. I have a doubt regarding investment B annuity factor. The calculation done (7.843-3.307) this i understood since we need annuity factor of from T5 to T25. But after multiplying with this annuity factor, wont we get the value at start of year 5 and we have to further discount it using year 4 discount rate?

No. 7.843 gives the PV at time 0 if the flows were from time 1 to 25 3.307 gives the PV at time 0 if the flows were from time 1 to 4 Subtracting one from the other gives the PV at time 0 for flows from 5 to 25. If you are still unsure then do watch the free Paper MA lectures on discounting where this is explained with examples.
