Financial issues associated with using discounting-based approach
I. The future value of money
1. The future value of a single cash flow
You are the lucky winner of your state’s lottery of $5 million before taxes. You invest your
winnings in a five-year certificate of deposit (CD) at a local financial institution. The CD
promises to pay 7% per year compounded annually. This institution also lets you reinvest
the interest at that rate for the duration of the CD. How much will you have at the end of
five years if your money remains invested at 7% for five years with no withdrawals and the
tax rate is 35%?
An institution offers you the following terms for a contract: For an investment of
$2,500,000, the institution promises to pay you a lump sum six years from now at an 8%
annual interest rate. What future amount can you expect?
A pension fund manager estimates that his corporate sponsor will make a $10 million
contribution five years from now. The rate of return on plan assets has been estimated at 9
percent per year. The pension fund manager wants to calculate the future value of this
contribution 15 years from now, which is the date at which the funds will be distributed to
retirees. What is that future value?
* What the today value of the $10 million can be received five years from now? (The
present value)
Note:
(1) i=(1+r/m)^m -1

compounded quarterly, and a feature allowing reinvestment of the interest at the same
interest rate. You decide to invest $10,000. What will the CD be worth at maturity?
