Future Value (FV)
The value of an investment at some point in the future
Present Value
The current value in today’s dollars of a future sum of money
Annual compounding
Reinvesting interest at end of each year for more than 1 year
Annual compounding equation
FV= PV x Amount present value has increased by the end of n years (n # of years during which compounding occurs)
FV(n)= PV(1+i)^n)
The value of (1+i)^n used a multiplier to calculate an amount’s __________ value
(FV=PV x future interest factor (FVIF)) 9FV= PV x FVIF)
