Document Summary

The present value of something (cash, namely) is worth more, generally than dollars saved for a year without any interest payments. Simple loan- when a lender provides the borrower with funds that must be repaid to the lender at the maturity date, they will also pay a certain amount of interest. Yield to maturity- the interest rate that equates the present value of cash flow payments received from a debt instrument with its value today: in a simple loan, the interest rate equals the yield to maturity. A rise in the interest rate measured by the yield to maturity date means that the price of the bond must be lower. Perpetuity- a perpetual bond with no maturity date and no repayment of principal that makes fixed coupon payments of forever. Current yield- the yearly coupon payment divided by the price of security.
