You own a floral design studio. Last year, you promoted Philip, one of your designers, to the manager of the studio. Philip had shown excellent design skills and was eager to take on new responsibilities. Recently, Philip has become increasingly protective of information regarding the day-to-day management of the floral shop. Several major problems with important customers have surfaced that Philip knew about but had not shared with you. Business from two of these customers has decreased during the last quarter. Also, several staff members have come to you privately with complaints about Philip's management practices. Tina, who has worked for you for over ten years, is threatening to quit. Use the six-step problem-solving method (see Chapter 1) to determine how you will handle the issues with Philip.

Annuity payments are assumed to come at the end of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). however, an exception occurs when the annuity payments come at the beginning of each period (termed an annuity due). what is the future value of a 13-year annuity of $2,800 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period? the interest rate is 9 percent. use appendix c for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. to find the future value of an annuity due when using the appendix tables, add 1 to n and subtract 1 from the tabular value. for example, to find the future value of a $100 payment at the beginning of each period for five periods at 10 percent, go to appendix c for n = 6 and i = 10 percent. look up the value of 7.716 and subtract 1 from it for an answer of 6.716 or $671.60 ($100 × 6.716)
