This document defines and provides examples of simple annuities. It begins by defining an annuity as a sequence of equal payments made at regular intervals. It then classifies annuities as either simple or general, depending on whether the payment interval matches the interest period. The document provides time diagrams and formulas for calculating the future and present value of ordinary annuities. It includes four examples that demonstrate calculating future values, present values, and periodic payments for simple annuities using the provided formulas.
