5. For years, Andrew worked for a national airline as a pilot. When the stress got to him, he decided to simplify his life. He packed his bags and moved to Key West. Andrew decided to start his own transportation and touring service for travelers. To accomplish his goal, he needed to purchase a small commuter plane. He only had one problem—money. Andrew telephoned his very wealthy uncle in Seattle to see if he would like a piece of the action. Andrew proposed that he would run the day-to-day activities of the company, while his uncle would just provide a percentage of the capital. His uncle agreed, and Andrew contacted an attorney to develop a written agreement.

Annuity payments are assumed to come at the end of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). however, an exception occurs when the annuity payments come at the beginning of each period (termed an annuity due). what is the future value of a 13-year annuity of $2,800 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period? the interest rate is 9 percent. use appendix c for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. to find the future value of an annuity due when using the appendix tables, add 1 to n and subtract 1 from the tabular value. for example, to find the future value of a $100 payment at the beginning of each period for five periods at 10 percent, go to appendix c for n = 6 and i = 10 percent. look up the value of 7.716 and subtract 1 from it for an answer of 6.716 or $671.60 ($100 × 6.716)
