Which of the following statements is correct?
a. if a series of unequal cash flows occurs at regular intervals, such as once a year, then the series is by definition an annuity.
b. the cash flows for an annuity due must all occur at the ends of the periods.
c. the cash flows for an ordinary (or deferred) annuity all occur at the beginning of the periods.
d. the cash flows for an annuity must all be equal, and they must occur at regular intervals, such as once a year or once a month. if some cash flows occur at the beginning of the periods while others occur at the ends, then we have what the textbook defines as a variable annuity.

D. The cash flows for an annuity must all be equal and they must occur at regular intervals, such as once a year or month . If some cash flows occurred at the beginning of the periods while others occurred at the ends, then we have what the text books defined as variable cash flow.

anyone below or above ambitious can tell you. so crowns mean brainliest. getting brainliest means your answer needs a good explanation and the person asking the question can understand your answer easily. so say there's a multiple choice question. you don't just want to say your answer is a, hope it . provide evidence and reasoning so that they know that that is the correct answer. a good explanation should have evidence, good reasoning, and your opinion on why you picked that. you don't want to look up their question on the internet and see if you can answer it. pick questions that you 100% know the answer to, so than that way you can provide a better explanation.

best of luck,
