Time Value of Money
Time Value of Money
In simple terms the concept implies that money today is always better than
money tomorrow.
Why Time Value of Money
Exists?
Risk and Uncertainty-future always involves some risk, especially in
respect to cash inflows of company as they are highly uncontrollable;
Formula for
SI = P0(i)(n) =1000*10%
=100*5 =500
F.V=P+1 =1500
SI: Simple Interest
P0: Deposit today (t=0)
i: Interest Rate per Period
n: Number of Time Periods
Example
Principle + Interest
Assume that you deposit $1,000 in an account earning 7% simple interest for 2 years. What is the future
value at the end of the 2nd year?
F.V= 1000(1+(.07)(2))
=1140
Present Value
P.V=F.V/ (1+(i)(n))
Assume that you are going to receive 1140 at the end of 2
year earning 7% simple interest. What is the amount you
need to invest today to have such amount at the end of the
2nd year?
Compound Interest
Assume that you deposit $1,000 at a compound interest rate of 7% for 2
years.
