#1
Which of the following best defines an annuity?
A one-time lump sum payment
A series of equal periodic payments
A payment that increases over time
A payment made at irregular intervals
#2
In the context of annuities, what does 'PMT' stand for?
Present Money Total
Periodic Money Total
Payment
Present Money Transfer
#3
In the context of perpetuities, what does 'PMT' stand for?
Present Money Transfer
Payment
Perpetual Money Total
Periodic Money Total
#4
What is the formula to calculate the future value of an annuity?
FV = PV * (1 + r)^n
FV = PV / r
FV = PV * (1 - r)^n
FV = PV * r * n
#5
Which of the following is NOT a type of annuity?
Ordinary annuity
Deferred annuity
Increasing annuity
Perpetuity
#6
What does the term 'annuity due' refer to?
An annuity with payments at the beginning of each period
An annuity with payments at the end of each period
An annuity with increasing payments over time
An annuity with decreasing payments over time
#7
Which of the following formulas represents the present value of an annuity?
PV = PMT / r
PV = PMT * (1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r
PV = PMT * (1 + r)^n
PV = PMT * r * n
#8
Which of the following best describes an ordinary annuity?
An annuity with payments at the beginning of each period
An annuity with payments at the end of each period
An annuity with increasing payments over time
An annuity with decreasing payments over time
#9
What distinguishes a perpetuity from an ordinary annuity?
Perpetuity has a finite number of payments
Perpetuity has payments that continue indefinitely
Perpetuity has variable payment amounts
Perpetuity has payments that decrease over time
#10
How is the present value of a perpetuity calculated?
PV = PMT / r
PV = PMT * r
PV = PMT / (1 + r)
PV = PMT * (1 - r)
#11
What is the relationship between the interest rate (r) and the present value of an annuity?
As r increases, PV decreases
As r increases, PV increases
As r decreases, PV decreases
As r decreases, PV increases
#12
Which of the following statements about perpetuities is true?
The future value of a perpetuity is finite
The present value of a perpetuity is finite
Perpetuities have a fixed number of payments
Perpetuities have payments that continue indefinitely
#13
What is the present value of a perpetuity that pays $100 every year, if the interest rate is 5%?
