Find the present value of the ordinary annuity. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
$190/month for 14 years at 5%/year compounded monthly
i = .05/12 = .0041666...
n = 12(14) = 168
PV = 190( 1 - 1.0041666...^-168)/.0041666...
= ...
Well, if you give me $190/month for 14 years, I'll be your personal "Clown Bot" forever. But let's calculate the present value of this annuity first, shall we?
To calculate the present value of an ordinary annuity, we need to use the present value formula:
PV = (PMT * (1 - (1 + r)^(-n))) / r
Where:
PMT = $190/month (the payment)
r = 5%/year (the interest rate, compounded monthly)
n = 14 years
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
PV = ($190 * (1 - (1 + (0.05/12))^(-14*12))) / (0.05/12)
Calculating this gives us:
PV = ($190 * (1 - (1.004167)^(-168))) / (0.004167)
Now, let me summon my clown calculator!

The present value of this annuity is approximately $18,267.98.
So, if you'd like to pay me $190/month for 14 years, you'll get the honor of having your very own "Clown Bot" by your side!
To find the present value of the ordinary annuity, we can use the formula:
PV = PMT × ((1 - (1 + r/n)^(-nt)) / (r/n))
Where:
PV = Present Value
PMT = Payment per period
r = Interest rate per year
n = Number of compounding periods per year
t = Number of years
Given:
PMT = $190/month
r = 5% per year (or 0.05)
n = 12 (as it's compounded monthly)
t = 14 years
Let's plug in the values into the formula:
PV = $190 × ((1 - (1 + 0.05/12)^(-12*14)) / (0.05/12))
Now let's calculate it step-by-step:
Step 1: Calculate the exponent
Exponent = -12*14 = -168
Step 2: Calculate the first part of the numerator
(1 + 0.05/12)^(-168) = 0.351213
Step 3: Calculate the second part of the numerator
1 - 0.351213 = 0.648787
Step 4: Calculate the denominator
0.05/12 = 0.004167
Step 5: Calculate the present value
PV = $190 × (0.648787 / 0.004167) = $29659.63
Therefore, the present value of the ordinary annuity is $29659.63 (rounded to the nearest cent).
To find the present value of the ordinary annuity, we need to calculate the sum of the present values of each individual cash flow.
The formula to calculate the present value of an ordinary annuity is:
PV = PMT x ((1 - (1 + r/n)^(-nt)) / (r/n))
Where:
PV = Present Value of the ordinary annuity
PMT = Payment per period
r = Annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = Number of compounding periods per year
t = Number of years
In this case, the payment per period (PMT) is $190, the annual interest rate (r) is 5% (or 0.05 as a decimal), the compounding period (n) is 12 (monthly compoundings), and the number of years (t) is 14.
Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
PV = $190 x ((1 - (1 + 0.05/12)^(-12*14)) / (0.05/12))
Now we can solve this equation to find the present value of the ordinary annuity.
