Ilows Irom diIIerent periods.
Question: Your Iather has oIIered to give you some
money and asks that you choose one oI the Iollowing
two alternatives:

The answer depends on what rate oI interest you
could earn on any money you receive today.
For example, iI you could deposit the $1,000 today at
12 per year, you would preIer to be paid today.
Alternatively, iI you could only earn 5 on deposited
Iunds, you would be better oII iI you chose the
$1,100 in one year.

An annuity due is an annuity Ior which the cash Ilow
