Ready for Module 2? Start with Lesson 1!
This lesson introduces you to the fundamental concepts of annuities. You'll learn the difference between simple and general annuities, how to visualize them with diagrams or real-world examples, and how to calculate the future and present values of simple annuities. This foundation will be key to understanding more complex annuity structures later on.
Building on the previous lesson, you'll now explore general annuities – a more flexible type of annuity. You'll learn how to calculate the future value of a general annuity, which is crucial for understanding how much your investment will grow over time. Real-world examples will help you see how this applies to your own financial goals.
This lesson flips the script and teaches you how to calculate the present value of a general annuity. This is essential for determining how much money you need to invest today to achieve a specific financial goal in the future.
This lesson focuses on calculating the regular payments required to reach a desired future value with a general annuity. This is particularly useful for planning retirement savings or other long-term financial goals.
This lesson broadens your understanding of annuities by introducing the concepts of cash flow and fair market value. You'll learn how to calculate the fair market value of a cash flow stream that includes an annuity, a valuable skill for making investment decisions.
This lesson introduces deferred annuities – annuities where payments are delayed for a specific period. You'll learn how to calculate the period of deferral, which is crucial for understanding the timing of your annuity payments.
This lesson builds on the previous one by teaching you how to calculate the present value of a deferred annuity. This is important for understanding the current value of an annuity that will start paying out in the future.
