19. In determining the future value of an annuity, the final payment is not compounded at all.
True False
20. The future value of an annuity assumes that the payments are received at the end of the
year and that the last payment does not compound.
True False
21. The future value of an annuity table provides a short-cut for calculating the future value of

the following equation:
