Time Value of Money Flashcards
n
Compounding period - not necessarily one year
i
interest rate per compounding period
If annual rate is 12%, semi-annual rate is 6%, quarterly is 3%, monthly is 1%
PV
Present value of a lump sum or annuity stream
PMT
Annuity
FV
Future value
Money going into an investment is?
Negative
Money coming out of an investment is?
Positive
Solve for a variable w/no periodic payments

n i PV FV
Solve for variable w/periodic pmts
solve any of the 5 variables given the other 4

What lump sum today grows to 50k in 10 years at 7%

Future value of lump sum

Discounting
-start with future amount and divide by 1 plus the interest rate
- this will give present value of some future amount
When discounting larger interest rates lead to
smaller present values
When discounting, smaller interest rates will lead to
larger present values
An annuity is
a series of equal payments
can be paid at the beginning or end of a period
Annuity due AD
pays at the beginning (before he gets injured)
Ordinary annuity
pays at the end of the period
most commercial loans, including mortgages, require payments when
at the end of the period
commercial annuity purchased from insurance company is
annuity due, will make payments at the beginning of the period
AD examples
college funding, life insurance needs for income replacement, retirement needs analysis
Time zero
today. 1 year from today is time 1
other terms for interest rate
opportunity cost, opportunity rate, required return, rate of return, internal rate of return, capitalization rate, cost of capital, discount rate
CHS
change sign key
cashflow into an investment is negative
cashflow out of an investment is positive
BEG
hit g key then function on the 7 key and BEGIN will be displayed - only used to denote an annuity whose payments are at BEGINNING
END
hit g key then blue funtion on the 8 key - only used to denote an annuity whose payments are at the END of a period
Calculating a present value will always involve
discounting
Calculating a future value will always involve
compounding

BC is quarterly compounding the # of periods is 40 and the interest rate is 1.15
Also need to change calc back to end by hitting g END
Quality
investment with less risk preferable to one with more risk. “likelihood of payback” if both have equal rates of return the one with less risk is preferable
quantity
assume risks are equal, timing is identical, investment w/higher rate of return is preferable
at what rate is the investment earning or growing?
timing
when and/or how often must cash be put in and/or taken out of an investment
Drawback: Results of quantitative only as good as information provided
Garbage in garbage out
Net Present Value
Compares the outflow required at time zero, with the Present Value of future cash inflows discounted at the appropriate discount rate
Firm’s cost of capital
discount rate used to calculate the present value of future inflows
Investor’s opportunity rate
DISCOUNT RATE used to calculate the present value of the future cash inflows
How to know if NPV is positive?
if the PV of future cash inflows exceeds the outflow at time zero
What does it mean when NPV is positive?
the project or investment would increase the investor’s wealth if undertaken
What if the NPV is negative?
would reduce the investors wealth “destroy wealth”
Is NPV before tax or after tax?
After-tax cash flows
After-tax interest rate
Cash flows recorded annually when doing a TVM calc.
even if they occur monthly
When do we record cash flows as occurring?
At the end of the period
g CFo
Outflow at zero time
