How do you figure annuities with different interest periods and payment periods?

02 Apr

Say you want to have :

* $1,000,000 in 40 years (so FV=1,000,000).
* Bank pays 8% APR with quarterly compounding..
* Payments are made at the end of the periods.

How do you get this? Thanks!
Edit: Payments are made the end of periods.

Given today’s low interest rate environment should a 70yr. old buy a fixed immediate annuity?

29 Mar

I understand that the monthly dollar amount of the distribution from an annuity would be less today than say a year ago because of the low current interest rate environment that exists.

Annuities and interest rates?

27 Mar

An annutiy consists of 20 annual payments of 85,000.

Interest rates from 5.5% to 7.5% were used, and i have to find the prices payable in the 2 years to secure this annuity.

I noticed that the higher the interest rates, the lower the price payable.

Can anyone write a brief report as to why this happens?

Why the higher the interest on annuity, lower present value?

20 Mar

I’m doing a problem where i’m calc’ing how much i should be willing to pay now (present value) for an annuity that has an interest payment (discount) of varying amounts. The high the i goes, calcs telll me the less I should give in money right now.

If its got a higher interest rate wouldn’t it be worth more in the future, so why would I pay less?

Is $11,500 in interest on $37,000 over 2yrs. seem fair?

19 Mar

I’ll make this as short as possible. I had an annuity fund set up when I was 5. The payments were to be paid out in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006. Right before turning 18 my father practically forced me to sell the annuities for one lump sum payment. I talked my way into keeping the last one. So we sold the first three for pennies on the dollar. I entered the contract before I was 18, but it was finalized a few days after my 18th B-day. In 2004 I received a check for X amount of dollars from the annuity fund by mistake. I kept it and spent it all. Soon after I was contacted by the buyers. Since I still had the last payment, we came to an agreement for repayment. Now they are wanting me to sign the agreement again because they lost the originals. I’ve now changed my mind about how much to repay them back while the money is just sitting in the fund. I called the annuity company and they said it can’t be touched until both parties reach an agreement. What should I do?

What is the Highest interest rate that I can earn on an Annunity?

16 Mar

If i place 1 million or 1/2million in an annuity then what is the highest rate of interest i can get? Will that mean that my money is not guaranteed or at some risk? Does that mean my agent who gives me this high yield annunity will get less commission?
Like if I were a teacher transferring my current annuity to another one, what is the safest annuity yet the highest paying, interest rate wise, regardless of the field i am looking for interest???
