An annuit y is a series of equal cash flows occurring at equal t ime int ervals
over a specified t ime period. Annuit y due refers t o t he fact t hat t he
regular payment s ar e being made at t he begi nni ng of each per iod, hence
t he name, annuit y due, payment is due i mmedi at el y .

Lease payment s are a really good example of an annuit y due. Lease
arrangement s are a ser ies of regular payment s at t he beginning of each
per iod occurr ing at equal t ime int ervals ( usually mont hly) over a specified
t ime ( usually unt il t he end of t he lease arr angement ) .

The following t imeline should classify what we mean when we say t hat
payment s are made at t he beginning of each period. The t imeline depict s
a 6 per iod annuit y, wit h regular $100 payment s being made at t he
begi nni ng of each per iod, occurr ing at equal t ime int ervals over a
specified t ime per iod.



You will not ice t hat t he fut ure value annuit y due formula is very similar t o
t he fut ure value ordinary annuit y formula. Because you receive a cash
flow one per iod earlier it has t ime t o accumulat e for anot her per iod y ou
i ncr ease i t s v al ue by ( 1+ r ) . Since every cash flow in t he annuit y has
moved one period ear lier, t he fut ure value of t he ent ire annuit y get s t o
accumulat e for an ext ra per iod and increases by ( 1+ r)

We will now t ake a look at some examples.

Jake rent s out a building t o an account ing pract ice. The lease arrangement is for
10 years. Every t hree mont hs Jake receives $10, 000 in rent . Payment s are
made upfront . This money goes int o an account earning 7% p. a. compounded
quart erly. What will be t he value of t he account at t he end of t he 10 year lease
arrangement if Jake never wit hdraws from it ?

I t s always best t o det ermine what you are t rying t o find. I n t his example we are
t rying t o find t he f ut ur e val ue, FV, of Jakes account at t he end of t he 10 year
lease arrangement .

The lease arrangement is for 10 years and int erest is compounded semiannually.
The number of compounding periods is 10yrs x 4 mont hs = 40.

The int erest rat e per compounding period is 0. 07 4 = 0. 0175.


Fv = R_

FV = ?
R = $10, 000

Fv = $1u,uuu_
(1 + u.u17S)
40

u.u17S
_ (1 +u.u17S)

Fv = $S82,SS7

At t he end of t he 10 year lease arrangement Jake will have $582, 357.

Jake is awfully greedy and decides t hat he would rat her have $800, 000 in his
lease account by t he end of t he 10 year lease arrangement . How much will Jake
have t o charge every 4 mont hs?

So what are we t rying t o find? We are t rying t o find t he amount of regular
payment s t hat Jake will charge, t hat being R, given t hat he want s t he f ut ur e
val ue of his lease account t o be $800, 000.

Fv = R_

u.u17S
_ (1 + u.u17S)

$8uu,uuu = R|$S7.2S4](1.u17S)

$8uu,uuu = R(S8.2S6)

R =
$8uu,uuu
$S8.2S6
= $1S,7S7

Jake will need t o charge $13, 737 in rent every 3 mont hs t o have accumulat ed
$800, 000 in t he lease account by t he end of t he 10 year lease arrangement .

Again you will not ice t hat t he present value annuit y due formula is very

we add back t his ver y first payment , R, t o t he present value ordinar y

Pv = $S8S,9S6 +$1S,7S7 = $S99,67S

Todays value of t he lease agreement is $399, 673.

Jake decides t hat t his is simply not enough! Jake want s t odays value of t he
lease agreement t o be $500, 000. How much will Jake have t o charge every 3
mont hs for t he present value of t he lease arrangement t o be $500, 000?


I n t his example we are t rying t o find R, t he regular payment s t hat Jake will have
t o charge per compounding period.

$Suu,uuu = 28R +R

Fact or i se R $Suu,uuu = R (28 +1)

R =
$Suu,uuu
(28 +1)
= $17,241


Jake will need t o charge $17, 241 in rent every 3 mont hs for t he lease agreement
t o have a present value of $500, 000.
