* $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.

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?

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

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?
