The annuity or present worth factor for a constant annual saving is

  • A.the reciprocal of the discount rate
  • B.the discount factor for the final year alone
  • C.the sum of the individual discount factors over the life
  • D.the product of the individual discount factors over the life

Answer: C

Correct answer: the sum of the individual discount factors over the life

A level annual saving is a series of payments, each discounted from its own year, so the factor converting the whole stream to a present value is the sum of those individual factors. Written in closed form it is \( [1-(1+i)^{-n}]/i \), and the capital recovery factor is its reciprocal.
