Divide the annuity by that power of the ratio denoted by the time of its continuance. 2. Subtract the quotient from the Annuity: Divide the remainder by the ratio less 1, and the quotient will be the present worth to commence immediately. 3. Divide this quotient by that power of the ratio denoted by the time of Reversion, (or the time to come before the Annuity commences) and the quotient will be the present worth of the Annuity in Reversion. EXAMPLES. 1.

To find the present worth of a Freehold Estate, in Reversion, at Compound Interest. 1. Find the present value of the estate (by the foregoing rule) as though it were to be entered on immediately, and divide the said value by that power of the ratio denoted by the time of reversion, and the quotient will be the present worth of the estate in Reversion. EXAMPLES. 1. Suppose a freehold estate of 40. per annum to commence two years hence, be put on sale; what is its value allowing the purchaser 51. per cent. ? As 5: 100: 40: 800-present-worth if entered on immediately. Then, 1,05=1,1025)800,00(725,2358=7257. 12s. 51d.-present worth of £800 in two years reversion. Ans. OR BY TABLE III.
