Time Value of Money
Change in the amount of money ones a given
time period is called the time value of money.
The idea that a currency today is worth more
than a currency in the future because the
currency received today can earn interest.
The economic value of a sum depends on
when it is received. Because money has both
earning as well as purchasing power over
time.
Purchasing power is the value of a currency
expressed in terms of the amount of goods
or services that one unit of money can buy.

Simple Interest
When More than one interest period is involved, the term simple
interest must be considered.
Simple interest is interest earned on only the principal amount
during each interest period.
With simple interest, the interest earned during each interest
period does not earn additional interest in the remaining periods,
even though you do not withdraw it.
for a deposit of P dollars at a simple interest rate of i for N
periods, the total earned interest would be 𝐼 = 𝑖𝑃 𝑁
The total amount available at the end of N periods thus would be
𝐹 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑖𝑁)
Here i= Interest rate, P= Principal, N= No. of period

Simple Interest (Cont.)
If you borrow $1000 for 3 years at 14% per year of simple interest
rate, how much money will you owe at the end of 3 years?
Solution:
Interest per year = 1000 × 0.14 = 140
For 3 years total interest = 1000 × 0.14 × 3 = 420
Total amount after 3 years = 1000 + 420 = 1420
4
Compound Interest
When More than one interest period is involved, this term must be considered too.
Compound Interest for an interest period is calculated on the principal plus the
total amount of interest accumulated in previous periods.
i (interest amount) = Principal + Total amount of interest accumulated in
previous periods
This total amount includes the original principal plus the accumulated interest that
has been left in the account.
In general, if you deposited (invested) P dollars at interest rate i, you would have
𝑃 + 𝑖𝑃 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑖) dollars at the end of one period. If the entire amount (principal
and interest) is reinvested at the same rate i for another period, at the end of the
second period you would have

Compound Interest (Cont.)
Continuing, we see that the balance after the third period is

Compound Interest (Cont.)
If you borrow $1000 for 3 years at 14% per year of compound
interest rate, how much money will you owe at the end of 3 years?
Solution:
Interest Total after
𝑌𝑒𝑎𝑟 1 = 1000 × 0.14 = 140 Year 1 = 1140

Compound Interest (Cont.)
The total interest earned is $331, which is $31 more than was
accumulated under the simple-interest method. We can keep track of
the interest accruing process more precisely as follows:

Comparing Simple with Compound Interest
In 1626, Peter Minuit of the Dutch West India Company paid $24 to
purchase Manhattan Island in New York from the Indians. In
retrospect, if Minuit had invested the $24 in a savings account that
earned 8% interest, how much would it be worth in 2007?

Interest Calculation
𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 = 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 – 𝑂𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡
𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 = 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑 – 𝑂𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑛
𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 = 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑎𝑙 × 𝑛𝑜. 𝑜𝑓 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑 × 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒
𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑟𝑢𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

Interest Calculation (Cont.)
“A” Company invest $ 1,00,000 on May-1 and withdrew a total of $
1,06,000 exactly one year later. Compute - (a) Interest (b) Interest
Rate.
Solution:
𝑎 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 = $ 1,06,000 – $1,00,000 = $6000

Interest Calculation (Cont.)
“A” Company plans to borrow $ 20,000 for 1 year at 15% interest
rate. Compute - (a) Interest (b) Total amount due after 1 year.
