Answer: B. Falcon Products leases an office building for 8 years with annual lease payments of $100,000 to be made at the beginning of each year.

Explanation:

An Annuity refers to an equal series of cashflows made at constant intervals. For instance, paying $100,000 per year for 8 years.

There are two types of Annuities; Ordinary and Annuity Due. Annuity Due refers to annuities that are paid at the beginning of each year whereas Ordinary is paid at the end.

Falcon will be paying $100,000 at the beginning of the year so this is an Annuity due and so will be the best application of the present value of an annuity due of $1.
