What is the mathematical difference between the two?

The first is called an arithmetic sequence since it can be described in the following way:
2, 2+2, 2+2+2, ...
The second is a geometric sequence since it can be described as:
2, 2×2, 2×2×2, 2×2×2×2, ...
The geometric sequence is of interest to us.

An annuity is a sequence of payments made regularly over a given time interval (eg loan repayments).
The time interval is called the term of the annuity. The regular places where repayments are made are called payment periods.
8
Payments made at the end of the payment period are called ordinary annuities.
When payments are made at the beginning of the payment period, the process is called an annuity due.
We first consider an ordinary annuity.

R is the periodic payment that must be made to amount to S at the end of the term.
Investing in this way to meet some future obligation is commonly called a sinking fund.

Example 12
In 10 years a $40,000 machine will have a salvage value of $4000. A new machine at that time is expected to sell for $52,000. In order to provide funds for the difference between the replacement cost and the salvage value, a sinking fund is set up into which equal payments are placed at the end of each year. If the fund earns 7% compounded annually, how much should each payment be?

A paper company is considering the purchase of a forest that is estimated to yield an annual return of $50,000 for 10 years, after which the forest will have no value. The company wants to earn 8% on its investment and also set up a sinking fund to replace the purchase price. If money is placed in the fund at the end of each year and earns 6% compounded annually, find the price the company should pay for the forest. Give your answer to the nearest hundred dollars.

Example 14
In order to replace a machine in the future, a company is placing equal payments into a sinking fund at the end of each year so that after 10 years the amount in the fund is $25,000. The fund earns 6% compounded annually. After 6 years, the interest rate increases and the fund pays 7% compounded annually. Because of the higher interest rate, the company decreases the amount of the remaining payments. Find the amount of the new payment. Give your answer to the nearest dollar.
