1. Find Present value factor for Interest rate i = 10%, Compounded (n) = 3, using Ordinary Annuity method
Solution:
`i=10%=0.1` per year (Interest rate)
`n=3` years (Number of periods)
Present value factor of Ordinary Annuity
`PVF=[(1-(1+i)^-n)/(i)]`
`=[(1-(1+0.1)^-3)/(0.1)]`
`=[(1-(1.1)^-3)/(0.1)]`
`=[(1-0.7513)/(0.1)]`
`=[(0.2487)/(0.1)]`
`=2.4869`
2. Find Present value factor for Interest rate i = 5%, Compounded (n) = 5, using Ordinary Annuity method
Solution:
`i=5%=0.05` per year (Interest rate)
`n=5` years (Number of periods)
Present value factor of Ordinary Annuity
`PVF=[(1-(1+i)^-n)/(i)]`
`=[(1-(1+0.05)^-5)/(0.05)]`
`=[(1-(1.05)^-5)/(0.05)]`
`=[(1-0.7835)/(0.05)]`
`=[(0.2165)/(0.05)]`
`=4.3295`
