Future and Present Value of Simple
and General Annuities
The value today of a set of cash flows in the future with a
rate of return is called present value of an annuity. It is
essentially the amount of money that one has to invest
today in a lump-sum payment in order to accumulate the
same amount of money produced by contributing
regularly to the annuity over some particular period of
time. This is also called single-payment annuity. Cash
flow is the movement of funds which could either be an
inflow (i.e., credits or receipts) or an outflow (i.e., debits
or disbursements).
