Investment decision
Profit planning
• The time value of money (TVM) is the idea that money available at the present time is worth more than the
same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity.
• This core principle of finance holds that, provided money can earn interest, any amount of money is worth
more the sooner it is received.
• It can be used to compare investment alternatives and to solve problems involving loans, leases, savings.
• As time changes value of money invested on any project/ firm also changes.
Time value of money
• Present value (PV) - This is your current starting amount. It is the money
you have in your hand at the present time, your initial investment for your
future.
• Future value (FV) - This is your ending amount at a point in time in the
future. It should be worth more than the present value, provided it is
earning interest and growing over time.
• The number of periods (N) - This is the timeline for your investment (or
debts). It is usually measured in years, but it could be any scale of time
such as quarterly, monthly, or even daily.
• Interest rate (I) - This is the growth rate of your money over the lifetime of
the investment. It is stated in a percentage value, such as 8% or .08.
• Payment amount (PMT) - These are a series of equal, evenly-spaced cash
flows.
Ques. At the end of 3rd year what amount we will get or what will
be the future value of Rs.10,000 at rate of 4.5% uniformly.
Solution;
As we know PV=𝐹𝑉/(1+𝑖)𝑛 𝐹𝑉 = 𝑃𝑉(1 + 𝑖)𝑛
where, PV= Rs.10,000 , i= 4.5% and n= 3 years
Therefore,
FV= 10,000 (1 + 0.045)3
= 10,000 (1.045)3 = 10,000 (1.14116612)
= Rs.11411.66 ( at the end of the 3rd year)
Reason for Time value of Money
Risk and Uncertainty:
No certainty for future cash inflows.
2. Inflation:
A rupee today represents a greater real purchasing power than a rupee in future
3.Consumption:
Individuals generally prefer current consumption to future consumption.
4.Investment opportunities
An investor can profitably use the received money today to get higher return tomorrow or after a certain period of time.
Importance
In Investment Decisions - Small businesses often have limited resources to invest in business operations, activities and
expansion. One of the factors we have to look at is how to invest, is the time value of money.
In Capital Budgeting Decisions - When a business chooses to invest money in a project - such as an expansion, a strategic
acquisition or just the purchase of a new piece of equipment -- it may be years before that project begins producing a
positive cash flow. The business needs to know whether those future cash flows are worth the upfront investment.
