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, ordinary or annuity due, and annuity certain or contingent based on payment intervals, time of payment, and duration. The document provides formulas for calculating the future value, present value, and periodic payment of ordinary annuities. It includes examples demonstrating how to use the formulas to solve simple annuity problems involving interest compounded monthly, quarterly, annually, or semi-annually.
