What is the shared recurrence?Show answer
Every annuity uses the period recurrence
What are payout annuities?Show answer
In a payout annuity you begin with a lump sum (such as a superannuation balance at retirement) and withdraw a fixed income each period while the remainder keeps earning interest. The balance falls because the withdrawal usually exceeds the interest earned. The annuity is exhausted when the balance first reaches zero, and a key question is how many periods the income can last.
