Document Summary

Recall the formula for the present value of a growing annuity with n payments, the first being c1: As emphasized earlier, this formula assumes that the first payment is one period from now and that both r and g are measured in terms of a period. We often have to adjust r (and sometimes also g) in order to correctly calculate present or future values. This requires an understanding of how interest rates are quoted in practice. Effective annual rate (ear): indicates the total amount of interest earned over a 1-year period. Adjusting the ear to an effective rate over different periods of time. If r is the effective rate for one period, then. 1 + equivalent n-period effective rate = (1 + r)n. Equivalent n-period effective rate = (1 + r)n 1. If n > 1, this is an effective rate over more than one period.
