What is the difference in the value between the following:
A growing perpetuity whose payment grows at 4%, is discounted at 9%, and next year's payment is $1000; AND
A growing annuity for 100 years whose payment grows at 4%, is discounted at 9%, and next year's payment is $1000.
A perpetuity is a security that pays for an infinite amount of time.
An annuity is a financial product that pays out a fixed stream of payments to an individual, and these financial products are primarily used as an income stream for retirees.
Inorder to find the difference in the value , we need to find the present value of annuity and the perpetuity.
Present value of growing perpetuity=Next Annual Payment/(Discount Rate-Payment growth rate)
PV= 1000/(0.09-0.04)=$25000
So, the present value of growing perpetuity =$25000
Present Value of growing annuity=PMT* where
i=0.009-0.004=0.005, PMT=$1000
Present value of growing annuity=$19847.91
Difference between the value =$25000-$19847.91=$5152.09
