Week 5 The Time Value of Money
Time Value of Money
How does a manager determine the value of a series of future cash flows, whether
paying for an asset or evaluating a project?
What is the value of the stream of future cash flows today?
We refer to this value as the time value of money (TVM)
Consuming Today or Tomorrow
TVM is based on the belief that people prefer to consume goods today rather than
wait to consume similar goods tomorrow
- Positive time preference
Money has a time value because a dollar today is worth more than a dollar
tomorrow
Todays dollar a e iested to ear iterest or spet
Generalizations
Value of a dollar invested (positive interest rate) grows over time
- The further in the future you receive a dollar, the less it is worth today
Rate of interest determines trade-off between spending today versus saving
- The higher the interest rate the more likely you will invest funds
Timelines as Aids to Problem Solving
Timelines are an easy way to visualize cash flows associated with investment
decisions starts at 0 and shows the cash flows as they occur over time
- 0 is often the current point in time (today)
- Cash outflows as negative values
- Cash inflows as positive values
Future Value vs Present Value
Financial decisions are evaluated either on a future value basis or present value basis
Future value measures what one or more cash flows are worth at the end of a
specified period.
Present value measures what one or more cash flows that are to be received in the
future will be worth today (at n=0).
Discounting is the process of converting future cash flows to their present values
Definitions
Principal amount is the amount invested
Simple interest amount of interest paid on the original principal amount.
Interest on interest interest earned on the reinvestment of previous interest
payments
Compounding process of earning interest over time.
Compound interest both simple interest and interest on interest

Future Value and Compounding
The future value of an investment is what the investment will be worth after earning
interest for one or more time periods
Compounding converting the initial amount into future values
Single Period Investment
We can determine the value of an investment at the end of one period if we know
the interest rate to be earned by the investment
If you invest for one period at an interest rate of i, your investment, or principle, will
grow by (1 + i) per dollar invested
The term (1+ i) is the future value interest factor, often called simply the future value
interest factor
Two-period Investment
A two-period investment is simply two single-period investments back-to-back
After the first period, interest accrues on original investment (principle) and interest
earned in preceding periods
The principle is the amount of money on which interest is paid
Simple interest is the amount of interest paid on the original principle amount only
Compounding interest consists of both simple interest and interest-on-interest
Example:
If you put $100 in a bank savings account that pays interest at 10% a year. How much money will you have in one
year?
FV = Principal + Interest earned
= $100(1 + 0.10)
= $110
Example:
Suppose you want to put your new amount of $110 back in the bank for another year at 10% interest.
How much money will you have at the end of the second year (FV2)?
- Multiply the new principal amount by the future value factor (1 + i)
FV2 = FV1 x (1 + i)
= 100(1 + 0.10)2 * the power of 2 means 2 years
= $121

The Future Value Equation
General equation to find the future value after any number of periods
The term (1 + i)n is the future value factor.
FVn = PV x (1 + i)n
where:
FVn = future value of investment at the end of period n
PV = original principle (P0) or present value
i = the rate of interest per period
n = the number of periods
(1 + i)n = the future value factor
What is the total compound interest?
Total compound interest = total simple interest + total interest on interest
To find the total simple interest you find the simple interest for the first year then
multiply it for the amount of years
To find the simple interest (SI):
SI = P0 x i
where:
i = the simple interest for the period
P0 = the initial principal amount
Example:
Suppose you decide to leave your $100 in the bank at 10% interest for 5 years. How much would you have at the
end of 5 years?
FV5 = $100(1 + 0.10)5
= $161.05
