Module 8 — Future and Present Value
Use this if annuity, sinking fund, present value, and amortization language is blending together.
Annuity problems concern repeated payments; a single deposit problem does not.
Future value projects payments forward; present value discounts them back.
The periodic rate and number of periods must use the same time unit.
What does present value of an annuity represent?
The current equivalent value of a series of future payments.
