Solution

The correct answer is e. The first cash flow in an annuity due starts at time zero.

An annuity due is a series of equal payments made at the beginning of each period in the series. Therefore, the first cash flow starts at time zero. This is in contrast to an ordinary annuity, where payments are made at the end of each period.
