CHAPTER 05—TIME VALUE OF MONEY
59. You are considering two equally risky annuities, each of which pays $5,000 per year for 10 years. Investment ORD is
an ordinary (or deferred) annuity, while Investment DUE is an annuity due. Which of the following statements is
CORRECT?
The present value of ORD must exceed the present value of DUE, but the future value of ORD may be less
than the future value of DUE.
The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of ORD, while the future value of DUE is less than the
future value of ORD.
The present value of ORD exceeds the present value of DUE, and the future value of ORD also exceeds the
future value of DUE.
The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of ORD, and the future value of DUE also exceeds the
future value of ORD.
If the going rate of interest decreases from 10% to 0%, the difference between the present value of ORD and
the present value of DUE would remain constant.

60. You are considering two equally risky annuities, each of which pays $5,000 per year for 10 years. Investment ORD is
an ordinary (or deferred) annuity, while Investment DUE is an annuity due. Which of the following statements is
CORRECT?
A rational investor would be willing to pay more for DUE than for ORD, so their market prices should differ.
The present value of DUE exceeds the present value of ORD, while the future value of DUE is less than the
future value of ORD.
The present value of ORD exceeds the present value of DUE, and the future value of ORD also exceeds the
future value of DUE.
The present value of ORD exceeds the present value of DUE, while the future value of DUE exceeds the
future value of ORD.
If the going rate of interest decreases from 10% to 0%, the difference between the present value of ORD and
the present value of DUE would remain constant.
