ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - ANSWER 34.18 : (a) Backward. (b) Let Equation 1 : y = 1 / (1 + r) ^ 1 + 1 / (1 + r) ^ 2 + ... + 1 / (1 + r) ^ n. Multiply Equation 1 with (1 + r) will produce Equation 2 : y (1 + r) = 1 + 1 / (1 + r) ^ 1 + ... + 1 / (1 + r) ^ (n - 1). (c) Equation 2 - Equation 1 will produce yr = 1 - 1 / (1 + r) ^ n, then y = [ 1 - 1 / (1 + r) ^ n ] / r.
