Table 1: Future Value Interest Factor for $ 1.00 Compounded: FVIF k,n = (1 + k)n

Table 2: Future Value Interest Factor for $ 1.00 Annuity Compounded: FVIFA k,n = [(1 + k)n - 1]/k

Table 3: Present Value Interest Factor for $ 1.00 Discounted: PVIF k,n = 1/(1 + k)n

Table 4: Present Value Interest Factor for $ 1.00 Annuity Discounted: PVIFA k,n = [1-1/(1 + k)n]/k
