The present worth given by \( (P/A, i, n) \) is located

  • A.one period after the first payment
  • B.at the same date as the last payment
  • C.one period before the first payment
  • D.at the same date as the first payment

Answer: C

Correct answer: one period before the first payment

This is the convention that causes most of the errors in using the factor. The series present worth factor discounts the payments to the period immediately preceding the first of them, not to the date of the first payment. For an ordinary series beginning at the end of year one, that period is time zero, which is why it usually works out conveniently.
