A number of PV problems involve annuities (or perpetuities) beginning a few periods hence. Students should practise combining the annuity (or perpetuity) formula with the discounting formula to solve these problems. “Annuities and perpetuities may have periods of every two or every m years, rather than once fa year, They may also have shorter periods like one month or one quarter. The annuity and perpetuity formulas can easily handle such circumstances ce.
