Step 1
An annuity is a series of cash flows that involve equivalent periodic amounts at equal time intervals over a specific duration. It can be classified into two types, i.e., an ordinary annuity that involves cash flows at the end of each time interval, and an annuity due that involves cash flows at the starting of each time interval.
The present value of an annuity represents a sum of all the discounted cash flows in that annuity. Furthermore, each cash flow must be discounted at a required rate of return.
