C4 Flashcards
Timeline
A linear representation of the timing of potential cash flows
Stream of cash flows
A series of cash flows lasting several periods
3 rules of time travel
1) only values at the same point in time can be compared or combined
2) to move a cash flow forward you compount it
FV=Cx(1+r)^n
3) To move a cash flow backwards in time, you discount it
FV=C/(1+r)^n
PV of a cash flow
nsomn=0 Cn/(1+r)^n
Future value of cash flow
PVx(1+r)^n
Net present value
Cash inflows (benefits)-cash outflows (costs)
Perepuity
When a constant flow will occur at regular intervals forever
C/r
Annuity
When a constant flow will occure at regular intervals for a finite number of intervals for N periods
PV annuity
Nsomn=1 C/(1+r)n
FV annuity
C x (1+r)^n-1/r
Growing perpetuity
a constant stream of flows that occure at regular intervals and grow at a constant rate forever
C/r-g
Growing annuity
A constant stream of flows that occure at regular intervals and grow at a constant rate for a finite number of intervals for N periods
C x 1/r-G (1-(1+g/1+r)^n)
Solving cash payments
C=P/ 1/r (1-1/(1+r)^n)
Interal rate of return
The interest rate that sets the net present value of the cash flows equal to zero
