Define the time value of money
concept which states that the value of a sum of money changes over time as a result of the effect of interest.
a sum of money has both a present and future value. define these
1) present value (PV) sum of money defined as the amount that, if invested at a specified interest rate on a specified date, would grow to equal a specified future amount
2) future value (FV) a sum of money is the amount that the original sum is expected to be worth at a specified future date, given a specified interest rate.
Present value of an investment of an investment is the principal. Define the principal
the original amount invested before it earns interest- and the future value is the invested principal ply the accumulated earnings.
FOR PRINCIPAL SUM:
the present value is >/< than its future value?
present value is less than future value
Future value is greater than present value
FOR INTEREST RATE,
an increase in the interest rate will result in a
decrease/increase of present value and decrease/increase of future value
Decrease in present value
Increase in future valye
FOR NUMBER PERIODS, compound interest. increase in the number of specified periods will result in a decrease/increase of present value?
^ in number of periods = decrease of present value and increase in future value
Interest is compounded, the interest period used in future value calculations are called compounding periods.
True
What is the formula for calulating the future values of a single amount for one period
FV = PV + interest earned
For one-year period, the amount of interest earned is euqal to the present value multipled by the interest rate (i) .
What is the formula for interest earned on a one-year investment?
interest earned = PV x i
What is the equation incorporating the formula for interest into the basic future value formula results?
Future value = present value + interest earned
FV= PV / (PV x i) = PV x (1 / i)
Define “exponent”
a number that indicates the power to which a base number has been raised.
What is the general formula for finding the future value of an investment earning compound interest, i, for n, periods?
FV= PV x (1 + i)^n
Define a future value interest factor (FVIF)?
is the future value of $1.00 at a given interest rate for a stated number of periods.
What do you call a table that lists future value interest factors?
future value interest factors (FVIF) table.
They’re divided into columns .
What are the 3 important characteristics of all FVIFs?
1) values of FVIF are always greater than 1.0
2) at a given interest rate, i, the values of FVIFs increase as the number of compounding periods, n, increases
3) at a given number of compounding periods n, the values of FVIFs increase as the interest rate, i, increases.
