Use the annuity-due present-value formula $P=\dfrac{A}{i}\big[1-(1+i)^{-n}\big](1+i)\approx ₹14{,}339.03$ .

An annuity due has payments made at the beginning of each period, so its present value is the ordinary-annuity present value multiplied by $(1+i)$ :

$P=\frac{A}{i}\big[1-(1+i)^{-n}\big](1+i).$

Given: $A=₹1{,}500$ , $i=8\%=0.08$ , $n=16$ , and $(1.08)^{-16}=0.2919$ .

Step 1 — Ordinary-annuity present value.

$\frac{A}{i}\big[1-(1+i)^{-n}\big]=\frac{1500}{0.08}\,(1-0.2919)=18750\times 0.7081.$

$=₹13{,}276.875.$

Step 2 — Adjust for annuity due (multiply by $1+i$ ). …

$Q. In an ordinary annuity, payments or receipts occur at ______.$
(a) Beginning of each period
(b) End of each period
(c) Mid of each period
(d) Quarterly basis
›Reveal solutionSolution
By definition, an ordinary (immediate) annuity is one in which the equal payments or receipts occur at the end of each period; if they occurred at the beginning it would be an annuity due.

An annuity is a sequence of equal payments made at regular intervals. The classification depends on the timing of each payment within its period:

Ordinary / immediate annuity — the payment is made at the end of each period (e.g. loan EMIs, most rent-type receipts recorded at period end).

Annuity due — the payment is made at the beginning of each period. …

$Q. In an ordinary annuity, payments or receipts occur at ______.$
(a) Beginning of each period
(b) End of each period
(c) Mid of each period
(d) Quarterly basis
›Reveal solutionSolution
By definition, in an ordinary annuity each payment or receipt is made at the end of every period — option (b). (When payments are made at the beginning of each period it is called an annuity due.)

An annuity is a sequence of equal payments made at regular intervals of time. Annuities are classified by when within each period the payment occurs:

Ordinary annuity (immediate annuity): each payment is made at the end of the period.

Annuity due: each payment is made at the beginning of the period. …

$Q.______ is a series of constant cash flows over a limited period of time.$
(a) Perpetuity
(b) Annuity
(c) Present value
(d) Future value
›Reveal solutionSolution
A sequence of equal payments made at equal time intervals for a fixed (limited) number of periods is an annuity; only if it continued indefinitely would it be a perpetuity. Hence option (B).

Comparing the choices:

Perpetuity — equal cash flows that continue for an unlimited (infinite) time, so it is ruled out by the word "limited period." …
