1 Varying annuities
1.1 Annual payments
For an annuity in which the payments are not all of an equal amount it is a
simple matter to find the present (or accumulated) value from first principles.
Thus, for example, the present value of such an annuity may always be
evaluated as:
X v
i
t
i
n
i
= == =

1
where the ith payment, of amount X
i
, is made at time t
i
.
If there are also continuous payments then the present value may be calculated as:
X v t v dt
i
t
i
n
t
i
=

z
+
1
( )
where ( ) t is the rate of payment per time unit at time t.
In the particular case when X t i
i i
= == = = == = the annuity is known as an increasing
annuity and its present value is denoted by ( )
|
Ia
n
.
( )
|
Ia
n
, therefore, represents the present value of payments of 1 at the end of the first
time period, 2 at the end of the second time period, , n at the end of the nth time
period.
Thus:

The present value of any annuity payable in arrear for n time units for which the
amounts of successive payments form an arithmetic progression can be
expressed in terms of a

. If the first payment of such an annuity is P

present value of the annuity is
( ) ( )

increases by Q each time.

Example
Find the present value as at 1 January 2005 of a series of 10 annual payments starting at
500 on 1 January 2006 and increasing by 100 each year. Assume an effective rate of
interest of 8% pa.
Solution
We can think of this series of payments as a combination of:
a level annuity of 400 and
an increasing annuity of 100
So the present value of the payments as at 1 January 2005 is:

Calculate the present value at time 0 of payments of 50 at time 0, 60 at time 1, 70 at
time 2 and so on. The last payment is at time 10. Assume that the annual effective rate
of interest is 4.2%.

Practice Question 3 (Ignore this question, we'll cover it later)
A Rent on a property is payable continuously for 5 years. The rent in the first year is
thereafter the annual rent increases by 500 pa. Calculate the present value of ,3,000
the rent at the start of the 5 years, using an annual effective rate of interest of 6%.




1.2 Decreasing payments
We can also use increasing annuities to find the present value of annuities where the
payments decrease by a fixed amount each time.
Example
The following payments are received:
50 at time 1, 45 at time 2, 40 at time 3 etc
The last payment is received at time 6.
These payments are equivalent to:
55 at time 1, 55 at time 2, 55 at time 3, etc
LESS the following payments:
5 at time 1, 10 at time 2, 15 at time 3, etc

Practice Question 4
A man makes payments into an investment account of $200 at time 5, $190 at time 6,
$180 at time 7, and so on until a payment of $100 at time 15. Assuming an annual
effective rate of interest of 3.5%, calculate:
(i) the present value of the payments at time 4
(ii) the present value of the payments at time 0
(iii) the accumulated value of the payments at time 15

2 Special cases
2.1 Irregular payments
Where the interest rate is constant, we can use the trick illustrated in the following
example. This involves converting the payments into a simpler series of payments with
the same present value.
Example
Find an expression in terms of annuity functions for the present value as at 1 January
2004 of the following payments under the operation of a constant rate of interest:
100 on 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October 2004
200 on 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October 2005
300 on 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October 2006
400 on 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October 2007
500 on 1 January, 1 April, 1 July and 1 October 2008
Solution
We can convert the payments for each calendar year to an equivalent single payment with
the same present value payable on 1 January that year. For example, the payments in 2006
are equivalent to a single payment of 1200
1
4

|
( )
a payable on 1 January 2006. So, the
payments are equivalent (in terms of present value) to the following five payments:
1 400
1
4

|
( )
a on 1 January 2004
2 400
1
4

|
( )
a on 1 January 2005
...
5 400
1
4

|
( )
a on 1 January 2008
This is just a simple increasing annuity (payable annually in advance) where the payment
amounts increase by 400

a each year. So the present value is ( )

.
3.2 Sudden changes in interest rates
Sudden changes in interest rates were considered for single payments earlier in the course.
We now consider a series of payments.
Example
Calculate the present value as at 1 January 2004 of the following payments:
100 on the first day of each quarter during calendar years 2006 to 2015 inclusive.
Assume effective rates of interest of 8% per annum until 31 December 2010 and 6% per
annum thereafter.
Solution
Here we must value a ten-year annuity payable quarterly in advance, deferred for two
years. We have to split the ten-year annuity into two five-year annuities to allow for the
change in interest rates.
The present value here is:
(4)@8% (4)@6% 2@8% 5@8%

Practice Question 5
The following payments are made:
1,000 pa payable quarterly in arrears from 1/1/05 to 31/12/10
The annual effective rate of interest is 3.4% for calendar years 2005-2008 and 4.2%
thereafter. Calculate:
(i) the present value of the payments at 1/1/05
(ii) the accumulated value of the payments at 1/1/12.
Math 336 - Introduction to Actuarial Mathematics Page 10
.
3.3 Compound increasing annuities
We have already looked at simple increasing annuities, such as ( )
|
Ia
n
, where the
payments increase by a constant amount each time. We will also need to be able to value
compound increasing annuities where the payments increase by a constant factor each
time.
Example
Calculate the present value as at 1 January 2003 of an annuity payable annually in arrear
for 15 years. The first payment is 500 and subsequent payments increase by 3% per
annum compound.
Assume effective rates of interest of 10% per annum.
Solution Method 1
A payment of 500 is made on 1 January 2004. A payment of 500 1.03 is made on 1
January 2005. A payment of
2
500 1.03 is made on 1 January 2006, and so on.
The final payment of
14
500 1.03 is made on 1 January 2018.
From first principles, we can write down an expression for the present value of this
annuity as follows:
2 2 3 14 15
500 500 1.03 500 1.03 500 1.03 + + + + " PV v v v v (*)
This can be rearranged as follows:
( )
2 2 14 14
500 1 1.03 1.03 1.03 PV v v v v + + + + "
The expression in brackets is simply a geometric progression of the form:

Well now consider a slightly different way of solving this problem. The equation (*)
could be rearranged and written as:
( )
( )
2 2 15 15

1.03 1.03 1.03

Remember that:

This is just the value,

1 1.1 1.03

Math 336 - Introduction to Actuarial Mathematics Page 12

,
The value of a compound increasing annuity can be valued using the present of a level
annuity at a different interest rate.
Method 3
Finally, well consider a slight adaptation of Method 2, using an annuity due instead of
an annuity in arrear. In Method 1, we rearranged the equation (*) as:
( ) ( )
14 14 2 14
500 1 1.03 1.03 500 1 PV v v v v v v v + + + + + " "
where 1.03 v v .
This time the expression in brackets is an annuity-due and so we can write:
15
500 PV va


We must be slightly careful when evaluating this expression. The v in the expression
must be calculated at 10%, whereas the annuity must be calculated at our new interest
rate 6.7961% i as before. So:
( )
15

We have considered three slightly different methods here. There is no best method to
use. You can choose which ever you feel most comfortable with. Methods 2 and 3 may
appear to be a little more complicated at first but its worth trying them out. Theyre not
quite as complex as they might first appear.
Before you have a go at an exercise yourself, heres another look at Method 2 in a more
general context.

4 Exam-style question
Heres an example of an exam-style question involving compound increasing annuities.
Have a go at it yourself before turning the page and working through the solution.
Question
An investor wishes to find the present value of a stream of property income payments.
She proposes to make the following assumptions.

The level of current payments is 20,000 per annum, paid quarterly in advance.

Payments will remain fixed for 5-year periods. At the end of each 5-year period
the payments will rise in line with total inflationary growth over the previous
five years.

Inflation is assumed to be constant at 3% per annum.

The interest rate for the calculation is 12% per annum effective.
Find the present value of the income stream assuming that the payments continue for 50
years. [6]
Math 336 - Introduction to Actuarial Mathematics Page 16

Solution
(i) The present value of the first five years worth of payments (working in
thousands of pounds) is 20

( )

Note that we must increase the annual payment by

an annual rate of inflation and the payments will rise in line with total
inflationary growth over the previous five years.
The next 5 years worth of payments will be worth:
20 103

Note that in this case we have had to divide by 1.0381 to ensure that the power we raise
1.0381 to matches the power we raise v to in each term of the original expression. This
wont always be the case. Its usually best to work form principles and use simple
algebraic manipulation to obtain an expression of the form:
2 2

which can be valued as an annuity in arrear (or as a sum of a geometric progression).
or of the form:

which can be valued as an annuity-due.
However, once you have practised quite a few of these you may be able to spot a few
short-cuts but be careful not to slip up.

Solution 8
Payments are made at the beginning of:
JanuaRy, FebRuaRy, MaRch, ApRil and
SeptembeR, OctobeR, NovembeR, DecembeR
ie the first 4 months and the last 4 months of each calendar year.
First, consider the first 4 payments in 2005. We have payments of 100 made at the start
of the next four months.
Working in years, the present value of these payments at 1 January 2005 is:
(12)
4/12
1, 200 @8% a pa
(Note that the normal annuity formulae work for fractions of a year too, provided that
the fraction of a year is compatible with the payment interval, ie working in months, the
fraction should be a multiple of
1
12
.)
Looking at each element of this expression:
The length of the annuity is 4 months and so working in years the term must be
4
12
.
The annuity is paid monthly and so this is represented by (12). The payments are made
at the start of each month, which gives a. Finally, because we are working in years, we
must multiply the annuity by the amount that we would have paid in a whole year had
the payments continued, ie 12 payments of 100, which of course equals 1,200.
Similarly, the present value as at 1 January 2005 of the payments made in September to
December is:
(12) 8/12
4/12
1, 200 @8% v a pa
because these payments commence in 8 months time.
Math 336 - Introduction to Actuarial Mathematics Page 25
.
So the payments in each calendar year have the same value as a single payment on
1 January of:
1 200 1200 1
4 12
12 8 12
4 12
12 8 12
