Q

NOTE ONLY / ANNUITIES

In analyzing annuities, it is helpful to first review a few basic definitions:

The term of an annuity runs from the beginning of the first payment interval to the end of the last payment interval.

The compounding period is the interval of time over which interest due on the principal is calculated. There are m compounding periods in one year, and n compounding periods in the term of the loan.

The payment period is the period of time between payments on the annuity. Note that the

payment periods and the compounding period are not necessarily of the same duration.
