2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is the annuity recurrence?Show answer
The balance of an annuity behaves exactly like a loan balance: interest is added, then the payment is withdrawn.
What are perpetuities?Show answer
A perpetuity pays forever because each payment is set exactly equal to the interest earned. The principal is never touched, so the balance stays constant period after period.
