问题如下:
You plan to set a saving account for 7 years which annual discount rate is 4% and compounded annually. Each year $500 cash is transferred into this account. What is the difference of account present value between transferring the cash at the beginning and at the end of each year?
选项:
A.$500.00
B.$120.04
C.$115.42
解释:
B is correct. If the cash is transferred at the beginning, set the calculator in the BGN mode and input data: N=7, I/Y=4, PMT=500, FV=0, then PV=-3121.07. If the cash is transferred at the end, set the calculator in the END mode and input data: N=7, I/Y=4, PMT=500, FV=0, then PV=-3001.03. Therefore, the difference between the two methods is 3121.07-3001.03=$120.04.
题干当中说存7年钱,算先付和后付的PV的差值,那后付就是第一年年初PV没钱呀,那PV应该是0吧,先付的时候就是在第一年年初付,那PV就是500呀,那差值应该是500呀。
老师我这么想的话是哪里不对吗,为什么不能这么算呢?
