PRINCIPLES OF
MONEY-TIME
RELATIONSHIPS
 MONEY
• Medium of Exchange --
Means of payment for goods or services;
What sellers accept and buyers pay ;
• Store of Value --
A way to transport buying power from one time
period to another;
• Unit of Account --
A precise measurement of value or worth;
Allows for tabulating debits and credits;
 CAPITAL

Wealth in the form of money or

property that can be used to
produce more wealth.
 KINDS OF CAPITAL
• Equity capital is that owned by individuals who
have invested their money or property in a
business project or venture in the hope of
receiving a profit.
• Debt capital, often called borrowed capital, is
obtained from lenders (e.g., through the sale of
bonds) for investment.

 INTEREST
The fee that a borrower pays to a
lender for the use of his or her
money.
INTEREST RATE
The percentage of money being
borrowed that is paid to the lender
on some time basis.

 SIMPLE INTEREST
• The total interest earned or charged is linearly
proportional to the initial amount of the loan
(principal), the interest rate and the number of
interest periods for which the principal is
committed.
• When applied, total interest “I” may be found by
I = ( P ) ( N ) ( i ), where
– P = principal amount lent or borrowed
– N = number of interest periods ( e.g., years )
– i = interest rate per interest period
 SIMPLE INTEREST
• Future Amount, F

F =P+I
= P + PNi
F = P(1+ Ni)
 SIMPLE INTEREST
Two types of simple interest
 Ordinary Simple interest- computed on the basis of one banker’s year
1 banker’s year = 12 months (each consisting 30 days)
= 360 days,

• Exact simple interest- based on the exact number of days, 365 days for
ordinary year and 366 days for a leap year.

 COMPOUND INTEREST
• Whenever the interest charge for any interest
period is based on the remaining principal
amount plus any accumulated interest charges
up to the beginning of that period.
Period Amount Owed Interest Amount Amount Owed

period ( @ 10% ) period

2 $1,100 $110 $1,210
3 $1,210 $121 $1,331
 ECONOMIC EQUIVALENCE
• Established when we are indifferent between a
future payment, or a series of future payments,
and a present sum of money .
• Considers the comparison of alternative
options, or proposals, by reducing them to an
equivalent basis, depending on:
– interest rate;
– amounts of money involved;
– timing of the affected monetary receipts and/or
expenditures;
– manner in which the interest , or profit on invested
capital is paid and the initial capital is recovered.

• If an annuity is deferred j periods, where j < N
• And finding P given A for an ordinary annuity is
expressed by: P = A ( P / A, i
%,N )
• This is expressed for a deferred annuity by:
A ( P / A, i%,N - j ) at end of period j
• This is expressed for a deferred annuity by:
A ( P / A, i%,N - j ) ( P / F, i%, j ) as
of time 0 (time present)
 EQUIVALENCE CALCULATIONS INVOLVING
MULTIPLE INTEREST
• All compounding of interest takes place once per time
period (e.g., a year), and to this point cash flows also
occur once per time period.
• Consider an example where a series of cash outflows
occur over a number of years.
• Consider that the value of the outflows is unique for
each of a number (i.e., first three) years.
• Consider that the value of outflows is the same for
the last four years.
• Find a) the present equivalent expenditure; b) the
future equivalent expenditure; and c) the annual
equivalent expenditure
 PRESENT EQUIVALENT EXPENDITURE
• Use P0 = F( P / F, i%, N ) for each of the unique years:
-- F is a series of unique outflow for year 1 through year 3;
-- i is common for each calculation;
-- N is the year in which the outflow occurred;
-- Multiply the outflow times the associated table value;
-- Add the three products together;
• Use A ( P / A,i%,N - j ) ( P / F, i%, j ) -- deferred annuity -- for
the remaining (common outflow) years:
-- A is common for years 4 through 7;
-- i remains the same;
-- N is the final year;
-- j is the last year a unique outflow occurred;
-- multiply the common outflow value times table values;
-- add this to the previous total for the present equivalent
expenditure.

 NOMINAL AND EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATES
• Nominal Interest Rate - r - For rates
compounded more frequently than one year,
the stated annual interest rate.
• Effective Interest Rate - i - For rates
compounded more frequently than one year,
the actual amount of interest paid.
• i = ( 1 + r / M )M - 1 = ( F / P, r / M, M ) -1
– M - the number of compounding periods per year
• Annual Percentage Rate - APR - percentage
rate per period times number of periods.
– APR = r x M
COMPOUNDING MORE OFTEN THAN ONCE A
YEAR
Single Amounts
• Given nominal interest rate and total number of
compounding periods, P, F or A can be determined by
F = P ( F / P, i%, N )
i% = ( 1 + r / M ) M - 1
Uniform and / or Gradient Series
• Given nominal interest rate, total number of
compounding periods, and existence of a cash flow
at the end of each period, P, F or A may be
determined by the formulas and tables for uniform
annual series and uniform gradient series.
