Dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow
Necessary to evaluate and compare/combine cash flows
-Compounding:
To calculate future value of cash flow, multiply cash flow’s
present value by interest rate factors associated with
intervening time periods
-Earning ‘interest on interest
-Assumption: Interest is ALWAYS kept in the account
-Discounting:
To calculate present value of cash flow, divide by

-Interest Rates:
Quoted in terms of an annual percentage rate (APR)
-Converted into number of periods & interest rates per period for calculations
