Document Summary

Ch 4 lecture: the time value of money. The first cash flow is now at date 0 (today) and is represented as a negative sum because it is an outflow. Timelines can represent cash flows that take place at the end of any time period (like month, week, day etc) Financial decisions often require combining cash flows or comparing values- three rules govern this process: only values at the same point in time can be compared or combined. So you have to look at either the present or future values of these numbers. You need to put all of these numbers in terms of money in 3 years o. To move a cash flow forward in time, you must compound it. You have to multiply the amount in the bank by 1 + r for every period and that gets you a new amount in the bank. To move a cash flow backward in time, you must discount it.
