Q

What is the saying about the time value of money?
Explain

A

A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.
One reason for this is the opportunity costs of holding cash instead of investing in higher-return projects. Also, inflation.

Q

Is travelling from the future the expected rate of return?

A

No, that is the discount rate.
Travelling to the future is the expected rate of return.

Q

What is the equation showing the FV of a single cash flow?

A

FV = C x (1 + r)^t

C= Cash flow
r = Periodic interest rate
t= No. of period interest is calculated

Q

Example of future value of annuities:
Your education account – an annuity of £2,000 for 15 years. The FV of the account at the end of year 15 is the sum of the FV of the 15 individual CFs, given r = 3%:

A

FV1st CF = £2,000 x 1.0314 = £3,025.18
FV14th CF = £2,000 x 1.031 = £2,060.00

FV annuity = FV1st CF + FV2nd CF + … + FV15th CF = £37,197.83

> £30,000 so your educational cost is safely covered

A

Annuity if t is a finite number.
A perpetuity if t is an infinite number.

17
Q

Your education will increase your annual salary (without the degree) by £1,800 for the next 30 years. Given a discount rate of 5%, the PV of salary increase is?

A

PV = (1800 / 0.05) X [1 - (1 / (1 + 0.05)^30 )] = £27,670.41

18
Q

What is the equation for the PV of annuities?

A

PVannuity= [C / r] x [1 - (1 / (1 + r)^t]

19
Q

What is the net present value (NPV) of a project or investment?

A

It is the difference between the present value of its benefits and the required investment

20
Q

What is the NPV formula?

A

NPVo= Co + PVo = Co + Sigma[Ct / (1 +r)^t]

Co = initial investment for the project. Cash outflow so has a negative sign
r = opportunity cost of capital

21
Q

What is the NPV rule?

A

Accept investments with positive NPVs

22
Q

What is meant by perpetuity?

A

Like annuity but the cash flow goes on forever

23
Q

What is the formula for the PV of perpetuities?

A

PV perpetuity= C / r

24
Q

What is the formula for the PV of growing annuities?

A

PV of growing annuities = [C1 / (r - g)] x [1 - [(1 + g) / (1 + r)]^t]

g= the annual growth rate of cash flow

25
Q

What is the equation of the PV of a growing perpetuity?

A

PV of a growing perpetuity = C1 / (r - g)

26
Q

What is the effective annual rate (EAR)?

A

The annual rate of return actually earned after adjustments have been made for different compounding periods

27
Q

What is the annual percentage rate (APR)?

A

Annualised interest rate without compounding (the quoted rate)

28
Q

How do you calculate EAR?

A

EAR = (1 + periodic rate)^m - 1

Periodic rate = stated annual rate /m
m = the number of compounding periods per year

29
Q

Compute EAR if the stated annual rate (this is the annual percentage rate, APR) is 12%, compounded semi-annually

A

Here m = 2 , so the periodic rate is 12/2= 6%.
Thus, EAR= (1 + 0.06)2 - 1 = 1.1236- 1 = 0.1236 = 12.36%
