    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    A lottery ticket states that you will receive $250 every year for the next ten years.

    A) i=0.06 ordinary annuity

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

    FV = {A*[ (1+i) ^n-1]}/i

    A = annual payment

    FV = {250*[ (1.06^10) - 1]}/0.06 = $3,295.20

    PV = 3,295.20/1.06^10=1,840.02

    B) i=0.06 annuity due (beginning of the year)

    FV = 3,295.20 + [ (250*1.06^10) - 1] = $3492.91

    PV = 3492.91/1.06^10 = $1,950.42

    C) The interest gets compounded for one more period in an annuity due.
