Answer #1

At end of year:

Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate

=$12500[1-(1.074)^-12]/0.074

=$12500*7.776090066

=$97201.13

At beginning of year:

Present value of annuity due=Present value of annuity*(1+interest rate)

=$97201.13*1.074

=$104394.01

Hence difference=$104394.01-$97201.13

=$7192.88(Approx).
