Basic Concepts of Time Value of Money(16)

What is the time value of money?

The concept that money available now is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity.

Why does money have time value?

Money can earn interest, thus its value increases over time.

True or False: $\displaystyle 100 today equals$ 100 in ten years.

False. $100 today is worth more due to potential interest earned over time.

Define present value (PV).

The current worth of a future sum of money, discounted at a specific interest rate.

Define future value (FV).

The amount of money an investment will grow to over a period at a given interest rate.

What is the formula for future value?

The formula is $\displaystyle FV = PV (1 + r)^n$ , where r is the interest rate and n is the number of periods.

What is discounting?

The process of determining the present value of a future cash flow by applying a discount rate.

Illustrate an example of present value.

If you want $\displaystyle 1,000 in 5 years at a 5% interest rate, PV =$ 1,000/(1 + 0.05)^5 = $783.53.

What is a cash flow?

Money that is expected to be received or paid out over time in a financial analysis.

Fill in the blank: The __________ rate is the interest rate used to discount future cash flows.

discount

Compare nominal interest rate and effective interest rate.

Nominal is the stated rate; effective accounts for compounding within the year.

What does compounding refer to?

The process of earning interest on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.

True or False: Compounding results in simple interest.

False. Compounding generates compound interest, which grows faster than simple interest.

What is annuity?

A series of equal payments made at regular intervals over time.

Define the term 'interest'.

The cost of borrowing money or the return earned on an investment, expressed as a percentage.

Cause → Effect: If interest rates rise, what happens to present value?

Present value decreases; higher rates reduce the worth of future cash flows.

Applications of Time Value of Money(16)

What is present value?

Present value (PV) is the current worth of a future sum of money, discounted at the appropriate interest rate.

Future value formula

Future Value (FV) is calculated as: $\displaystyle FV = PV(1 + r)^n$ , where r = interest rate, n = number of periods.

True or False: Money loses value over time due to inflation.

True. Inflation decreases purchasing power, making future dollars less valuable than present dollars.

What is annuity?

An annuity is a series of equal payments made at regular intervals, such as monthly or annually.

Calculate the present value of $1,000 in 5 years at 5%.

PV = $\displaystyle 1,000 / (1 + 0.05)^5 ≈$ 783.53.

What is the main application of time value of money?

To assess the worth of investments, savings, or loans over time, considering interest rates.

Fill in the blank: The ________ is the time period over which money is invested or borrowed.

term.

Compare simple interest and compound interest.

Simple interest: calculated only on the principal. Compound interest: calculated on principal + accumulated interest.

What is an amortization schedule?

An amortization schedule outlines the repayment plan of a loan, showing principal and interest breakdown over time.

Calculate FV of $500 invested for 3 years at 4%.

FV = $\displaystyle 500(1 + 0.04)^3 ≈$ 562.43.

True or False: Higher interest rates decrease future value.

False. Higher interest rates increase future value, as they enhance investment returns over time.

What is discounting?

Discounting is the process of determining the present value of a future cash flow by applying a discount rate.

What are the two main types of annuities?

Ordinary annuity: payments at end of periods. Annuity due: payments at beginning of periods.

Cause → Effect: What causes present value to decrease?

Increased discount rate results in lower present value.

Fill in the blank: The ________ of an investment considers the total returns over time.

rate of return.

Define the term 'net present value'.

Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows over time.
