Key Concepts

Capital Recovery Factor

This factor converts a lump-sum present value into equal periodic payments, essentially the reverse of an annuity present value calculation. It is given by i(1+i)^n/((1+i)^n - 1) and is used in loan amortization and similar applications.

Sinking Fund Factor

This factor is used to determine the amount of periodic deposits required to accumulate a fixed sum over n periods at an interest rate i. It is expressed as ((1+i)^n - 1)/i and helps in planning for future obligations by setting aside regular contributions.

Compound Amount Factor

This factor, given by (1 + i)^n, represents the accumulated value of a unit amount after n periods at an interest rate i. It is used to determine how much a sum will grow over time with compound interest.

Present Value of an Annuity Factor

This factor is used to convert a series of equal periodic payments into their equivalent present value. It is calculated by the formula ( (1+i)^n - 1 )/(i(1+i)^n ) and shows the present worth of an annuity of one unit per period over n periods.
