Compute the future value and the present value of
different cash flow streams
Compute the return on an investment and how long
it takes to reach a financial goal
Explain the difference between the Annual
Percentage Rate and the Effective Annual Rate
Describe an amortized loan. Compute amortized loan
payments and the amount that must be paid at a
specific point during the life of the loan
3
Time Value of Money
The principles and computations used to
revalue cash payoffs from different times so
they are stated in dollars of the same time
period.
4
Graphical representations used to show timing of cash flows
Cash Flow Time Lines
PV = Present Value the beginning amount that can be
invested. PV also represents the current value of some future
amount.
FV = Future Value the value to which an amount invested
today will grow at the end of n periods.
5
Types of Cash Flow Patterns
Lump Sum Amount a single payment (received or
made) that occurs either today or at some date in
the future.
Annuity Multiple payments of the same amount
over equal time periods.
Uneven Cash Flows Multiple payments of different
amounts over a period of time.

6
Future Value
Compounding To compute the future value of an
amount we push forward the current amount by
adding interest for each period in which the money
can earn interest in the future.

Future Value of an Annuity
Annuity - A series of payments of equal
amounts at fixed intervals for a specified
number of periods.
Ordinary (deferred) Annuity - An annuity
whose payments occur at the end of each
period.
Annuity Due - An annuity whose payments
occur at the beginning of each period.

Present Value
Present value is the value today of a future cash flow
or series of cash flows.
Discounting is the process of finding the present
value of a future cash flow or series of future cash
flows; it is the reverse of compounding.

= the present value of an annuity with
n payments.

Each payment is discounted, and the sum of
the discounted payments is the present
value of the annuity.

Uneven Cash Flow Streams
A series of cash flows in which the amount
varies from one period to the next:
Payment (PMT) designates constant cash flows
that is, an annuity stream.
Cash flow (CF) designates cash flows in general,
both constant cash flows and uneven cash flows.

Semiannual and Other Compounding
Periods
Annual compounding is the process of
determining the future value of a cash flow or
series of cash flows when interest is added
once a year.
Semiannual compounding is the process of
determining the future value of a cash flow or
series of cash flows when interest is added
twice a year.

42
If compounding is more frequent than once a
yearfor example, semi-annually, quarterly,
or dailyinterest is earned on interestthat
is, compoundedmore often.
The FV of a lump sum be larger if we
compound more often, holding the stated
r constant? Why?

banks and brokers. Not used in calculations
or shown on time lines.

8%, compounded daily (365 days)

Periodic Rate
Periodic rate = r
PER

/m, where m is
number of compounding periods per year. m
= 4 for quarterly, 12 for monthly, and 360 or
365 for daily compounding.

Examples:
8% quarterly: r
PER
= 8/4 = 2%
8% daily (365): r
PER
= 8/365 = 0.021918%

Amortized Loans
Amortized Loan - A loan that is repaid in
equal payments over its life
Amortization tables are widely used for home
mortgages, auto loans, business loans,
retirement plans, and so forth to determine
how much of each payment represents
principal repayment and how much
represents interest
