Time value of money at future time "n": Summing over all payments from time 1 to time n, then reversing t Note that this is a geometric series, with the initial value being "a" = "C", the multiplicative factor being 1 + "i", with "n" terms. Applying the formula for geometric series, we get The present value of the annuity (PVA) is obtained by simply dividing by formula_19: Another simple and intuitive way to derive the future value of an annuity is to consider an endowment, whose interest is paid as the annuity, and whose principal remains constant. The principal of this hypothetical endowment
