Time Value Of Money

• A dollar is worth more now than that same dollar will be worth in the future.
  • Inflation reduces the purchasing power of the dollar.
  • Because of the uncertainty surrounding the receipt of the dollar, an agreement to receive sooner, rather than later, will increase the value of that dollar.
  • Time values involve the importance of opportunity costs. A dollar today is worth more than a dollar in one year because the dollar today can be productively invested and will grow more than a dollar in one year.
• Time value of money calculations are used in capital budgeting, real estate planning, investing, banking, insurance, retirement planning, and other areas of personal finance.
• Compounding: The process of determining the future value of a present sum.
  • For multiple periods, compounding results in interest producing more interest (interest “giving birth” to more interest).
  • Interest is the “rent” for the use of money.
    • Interest is the amount received or paid in excess of the amount lent or borrowed.
• Discounting: The opposite of compounding, it is the process of determining the present value of a future sum.

Present Value

• Present values can be calculated for future lump sums (a single amount received in the future) or a stream of equal cash flows (annuities) or unequal cash flows.
• The present value of a single amount is today’s equivalent of a particular amount in the future.
• Accountants use present value calculations more frequently than future value calculations.
  • Valuation of long-term bonds, long-term leases, and pension obligations are all examples of the application of present value calculations.
• Single amount: Present value (PV) of a lump sum (FV_n) given at the end of n periods at an interest rate of r%.

Discounted once per period: PV =

FVn

(1 + r)^n

Discounted “m” times per period: PV =

FVn

(1 + r m )^nm

Discounted continuously: PV = FV_n × e^−nm

• Ordinary annuity: Present value of an ordinary annuity (PVA) of PMT per period for n periods at r% per period:

PMV = PMT

	1 − (1 + r)^-n
	r

• • The cash flows of an ordinary annuity occur at the end of each period.
    EX: If you were expecting to receive $500 at the end of each year for the next 10 years, that would be an ordinary annuity.
• Annuity due: Present value of an annuity due (PVD) of n cash flows (PMT) at r% per period:

PVD = PMT

	1 − (1 + r)^-n
	r

× (1 + r)

• • The cash flows of an annuity due occur at the beginning of each period.
    EX: If you were expecting to receive $500 at the beginning of each year for the next 10 years, that would be an annuity due.
• Perpetuity: Present value of a perpetuity (PVP) of PMT per period at r% per period: PVP =

  PMT

  r

  EX: If you expect an investment to pay $1,000 each year forever, the value of that investment today, assuming an annual interest rate (r) of 5%, would be $20,000 ($1,000/.05 = $20,000).
• Series of cash flows: Present value of a series of cash flows (CF_t) at times, t = 1, 2, …, n, at r% per period:
  PV =

  n

  Σ

  t=1

  CFt

  (1 + r)^t

  =

  CF1

  (1 + r)^1

  +

  CF2

  (1 + r)^2

  + ... +

  CFn

  (1 + r)^n

  EX: If the cash flows of $1,000, $2,000, and $3,000 were to occur at the end of each year, and if it is assumed that the annual rate of return is 6%, the present value of that stream of unequal cash flows would be $5,242 ($1,000/1.06 + $2,000/1.124 + $3,000/1.191 = $5,242).

Future Value

• The future value can be calculated based on a single amount or from a stream of cash flows extending into the future.
  EX: You can estimate what an investment made today will be worth at some future date by using the future value of a single amount. You can also calculate the future value of a stream of equal future cash flow, such as an ordinary annuity or an annuity due.
• Single amount: Future value at the end of n periods (FV) of a present amount (PV) in...
