Syntax: @fv(r, n, x[, v, bf])
r: number
n: integer
x: number
v: (optional) number
bf: (optional) number
Return: number
Compute future (negative) value of payment of an n-period annuity, with payments x and rate r, and optional receipt of (positive) initial lump sum v.
If n is not an integer, the integer floor will be used.
A non-zero value for the optional bf indicates that the payments are made at the beginning of periods (annuity due) instead of ends (ordinary annuity).
The future value of an initial lump sum followed by n-periods of ordinary annuity payments:
The future value of an initial lump sum followed by annuity due payments is:
Examples
= @fv(0.05, 10, 100, 1000)
returns the value 371.1054, meaning that the issuer of the annuity stands to profit $371.11 once payments are done.
