o Time value of money means that the value of money is different in different time periods.
o The value of money received today is more than the value of the same amount received at
some other time in future.
o The difference in the value of money today and tomorrow is referred as time value of
money
o Therefore, given a choice of receiving a sum of money today or in the future, a rational
person will always choose to receive the money now as it has more value today than in the
future.
TECHNIQUES TIME VALUE OF MONEY
The two most common methods of adjusting cash flows for a time value of money :
Future value =
Present value =
PV : present value : Future value factor
FV : Future Value : present value factor
r: interest rate or Discount rate
t: period number
r=
t = ln(FV / PV ) ln (1+ r )
Interest are two types :
Compounded weekly
R / 52 interest per week
T *52
Compounded daily
R / 365 interest per day
T *365
Example 12 : (From End Of Chapter 4 Questions)
-Your coin collection contains fifty 1952 silver dollars. If your grandparents
purchased them for their face value when they were new, how much will your
collection be worth when you retire in 2058, assuming they appreciate at a 6.1
percent annual rate?
SOLUTION
Givens :
PV= $ 50
t = 2058 – 1952 = 106 years
R= 6.1 %
Calculating Future Values. You have just made your first $5,000 contribution to
your individual retirement account. Assuming you earn a 10.1% rate of return and
make no additional contributions, what will your account be worth when you retire in
45 years? What if you wait 10 years before contributing? (Does this suggest an
investment strategy?
SOLUTION
Givens
PV = $5,000
To find the FV, we use: r= 10.1%
= 45 years
FV = PV(1 + r)t 45- 10 = 35 years
FV = $5,000(1+ 10.1%)45
FV = $379,663.95
If you wait 10 years, the value of your deposit at your retirement will be:
FV = $5,000(1+ 10.1%)35
FV = $145,052.8
Better start early!
Example 20 : (From End Of Chapter 4 Questions)
You expect to receive $25,000 at graduation in two years. You plan on investing it at 9 %
until you have $150,000. Required: How long will you wait from now?
SOLUTION
0 1 2 ?? Year Givens
0 1 2 ??
t = ln(FV / PV ) ln (1+ r )
t = ln($150,000 / $21,042) ln (1+ 9%)
t = 22.79 years
Example 21 : (From End Of Chapter 4 Questions)
SOLUTION
Givens
PV= $ 7,000
To find the FV of a lump sum, we use:
Regency Bank
FV = PV(1 + r)t
r= 1% monthly
In Regency Bank, you will have: =20 * 12 = 240 month
FV = $7,000(1+ 1%) 20*12=240 King Bank
FV = $76,247.88 r= 12% annually
And in King Bank, you will have: =20 years
FV = $7,000(1+ 12%)20
FV = $67,524.05
Example 22 : (From End Of Chapter 4 Questions)
An investment offers to triple your money in 24 months (don't believe it). What rate per
three months are you being offered?
SOLUTION
find the length of time for money to double, triple, etc., the present value and future
To
value are irrelevant as long as the future value is twice the present value for doubling,
three times as large for tripling, etc. We also need to be careful about the number of
periods. Since the length of the compounding is three months and we have 24 months,
there are eight compounding periods. To answer this question, we can use either the FV or
the PV formula. Both will give the same answer since they are the inverse of each other.
We will use the FV formula, that is:
Solving for r, we get:
r = (FV / PV)1 / t – 1
r = (3 / 1 )1/8 – 1
r = 0.1472 or 14.72%
Example 23 : (From End Of Chapter 4 Questions)
Calculating the Number of Periods. You can earn .43 percent per month at your bank. If
you deposit $1,800, how long must you wait until your account has grown to $3,100?
SOLUTION
t = ln(FV / PV ) ln (1+ r )
t = ln($3,100 / $1,800) ln (1+ 0.43%)
t = 126.7 months
Example 24 : (From End Of Chapter 4 Questions)
You need $75,000 in 10 years. If you can earn 0.57% per month, how much would you
have to invest today?
SOLUTION
PV = $37,918
