Document Summary

Introduction to valuation: the time value of money. Time value of money: the dollar value in hand today is worth more than a dollar promised at some time in the future: you can earn interest while you wait, growing the dollar, depends on interest rate. Investing for a single period: savings account that pays 10% per year -> after one year . Present versus future value: future value factor = (1 + r)^t, present value factor = 1/(1+r)^t, pv * (1 + r)^t = fv. Determining the discount rate: pv= fv/(1+r)^t, solve for the rate or whatever you need to find. You think you will be able to deposit ,000 at the end of each of the next 3 years in a bank account paying 8% interest. Annuity: finite series of equal payments that occur at regular intervals. If the first payment occurs at the end of the period, its called an ordinary annuity.
