How Do Annuities Work

how do annuities work
How do you work this out? And how do you put it in the Calculator?

You have been offered an annuity over twenty periods with payments of $5,000 at a rate of 12% per period. How much would you have to invest now at the same rate to obtain the same amount of money at the end of the twentieth period??

I think its (1.12)^20 but how do you put that into a texas instrument calculator??

What do you mean by “the same amount of money at the end of the twentieth period”?

Do you mean having the same principle i.e. this is a perpetuity?

In Excel: PV=PV(12%,20,-5000,Guess)

I get $41,666.67.
