Example of the Future Value Interest Factor for an Annuity The future value interest factor for a one-dollar annuity discounted at i percent for n periods of $1000 to be received at the end of three year at an 6% interest rate is: FVIFA 6%,3 = (1+.06) 2 + (1+.06) 1 + (1+.06) 0 1.1236 + 1.06 + 1 = 3.1836 FV of the Annuity = PMT(FVIFA i,n )= $1,000 x 3.184 = $3,184

The major sources of consumer credit are financial institutions such as commercial banks, building and loan associations, licensed lenders, credit unions, credit card banks, risk managers, and insurers.

31. Tax Planning Tax Planning Strategy is the ability of an individual to effectively reduce, defer, or eliminate some taxes. Tax planning can influence an individual’s spending, savings, borrowing, and investment decisions. An understanding of the tax laws and maintenance of appropriate records can assist an individual to take advantage of some tax shelters. To successfully achieve this goal, it is essential to determine one’s current tax liability and the impact of the liability on financial transactions. Personal income tax is assessed on taxable income and the objective is to legally pay your fair share of taxes while taking advantage of the tax benefits appropriate to your personal financial situation.
