Suppose you invest $500 in a mutual fund today and $600 in one year.
If the fund pays 9% annually, how much will you have in two years?
FV = $500 × (1.09)2 + $600 × (1.09) = $1,248.05
Suppose you plan to deposit $100 into an account in one year and $300 into the account in three years.
How much will be in the account in five years if the interest rate is 8%?
FV = $100 × (1.08)4 + $300 × (1.08)2 = $136.05 + $349.92 = 485.9
You are offered an investment that will pay you $200 in one year, $400 the next year, $600 the year after, and $800 at the end of the following year. You can earn 12% on similar investments.
How much is this investment worth today?
Year 1 CF: $200/(1.12)1 = $178.57
Year 2 CF: $400/(1.12)2 = $318.88
Year 3 CF: $600/(1.12)3 = $427.07
Year 4 CF: $800/(1.12)4 = $508.41
=> Total PV = $178.57 + $318.88 + $427.07 + $508.41 = $1,432.93
Your broker calls you and tells you that he has this great investment opportunity. If you invest $100 today, you will receive $40 in one year and $75 in two years.
If you require a 15% return on investments of this risk, should you take the investment?
PV = $40/(1.15)1 = $34.78
PV = $75/(1.15)2 = $56.71
=> PV = $34.78 + $56.71= $91.49 < $100
You are offered the opportunity to put some money away for retirement. You will receive five annual payments of $25,000 each beginning in 40 years.
How much would you be willing to invest today if you desire an interest rate of 12%?
𝑃𝑉=$25,000/(1+0.12)^40 +$25,000/(1+0.12)^41 +$25,000/(1+0.12)^42 +$25,000/(1+0.12)^43 +$25,000/(1+0.12)^44 =$268.67+$239.88+$214.18+$191.23+$170.74=$1,084.71
Suppose you are looking at the following possible cash flows: Year 1 CF = $100; Years 2 and 3 CFs = $200; Years 4 and 5 CFs = $300. The required discount rate is 7%.
What is the value of the cash flows at year 5?
What is the value of the cash flows today?
What is the value of the cash flows at year 3?
Value at year 5 = 131.08 + 245.01 + 228.98 + 321 + 300 = 1226.07
Present value today = 93.46 + 174.69 + 163.26 + 228.87 + 213.90 = 874.18 (difference due to rounding)
Value at year 3 = 114.49 + 214 + 200 + 280.37 + 262.03 = 1070.89
What is annuity
- finite series of equal payments that occur at regular intervals
Ordinary annuity

How much can you borrow?
Suppose you win the Publishers Clearinghouse $10 million sweepstakes. The money is paid in equal annual installments of $333,333.33 over 30 years.
If the appropriate discount rate is 5%, how much is the sweepstakes actually worth today?
PV = $333,333.33 × [1 – 1/1.0530]/0.05 = $5,124,150.29
You know the payment amount for a loan and you want to know how much was borrowed.
Do you compute a present value or a future value?
You want to receive $5,000 per month in retirement. If you can earn 0.75% per month and you expect to need the income for 25 years, how much do you need to have in your account at retirement?
PV = 5000[1 – 1 / 1.0075300] / .0075 = 595,808
Suppose you want to borrow $20,000 for a new car. You can borrow at 8% per year, compounded monthly (8%/12 = 0.66667% per month).
If you take a 4-year loan, what is your monthly payment?
$20,000 = C × [1 – 1/1.006666748]/0.0066667
=> C = $488.26
