8thlegend After going through 11 of these problems, I wished that all the CFA questions were like these.

PMT = -425
I/Y = 11%
N = 100

assiduous Another way to look at it....
Suppose you were living off of interest. If your money was invested at an annual rate of 11%, how much money would you need TODAY in order to yield $425 every year forever?

The answer is always:
[desired amt per period] / [rate of return per period]
