dollars, based on a specific discount rate.

Answer 5

Present Value =PV

Question 6

The future amount to which $1 today will increase, based on a defined interest
rate and period of time.

Answer 6

Future Value

Question 7

A systematic payment occurring at the beginning of each compounding period is ____

Answer 7

an annuity due =PMT

Question 8

____ when the annuity occurs at the end of each compounding period.

Answer 8

an ordinary annuity =PMT

Question 9

Question 11

____ is used to evaluate the cash flows associated with capital projects and capital expenditures.

Answer 11

NPV- Net present value

Question 12

what are the keystrokes used to find NPV?

Answer 12

Use the g CFo, g CFj, and g Nj keys - to multiple CFj

Question 13

The Method of NPV?

Answer 13

The method discounts the future cash flows at an appropriate discount rate and allows the present value of the inflows to be compounded to the present values of outflows.

Question 14

what does the NPV result tell us?

Answer 14

If the answer is positive, then undertake the investment. The actual “i” > the required “i.”
If the answer is negative, do not undertake the investment. The actual “i” < the required “i.”
If the answer is zero, then undertake the investment. The actual “i” = required “i.”

Question 15

NPV vs IRR

Answer 15

The NPV is considered a superior model to IRR when comparing investment projects of unequal lives. Why? Because investing at the required rate of return is more reasonable than at the IRR.
With changes of more than two inflows/outflows in an investment project, there is only one NPV, but multiple IRRs.

Question 16

__ Allows the financial planner to compare computed rate to required rate of return.

Answer 16

IRR- Internal rate of return

Question 17

The Method of IRR?

Answer 17

The method discounts the future cash flows at an appropriate method used to determine the exact discount rate to equalize cash inflows and outflows of a specific investment or project.

Question 18

what are the keystrokes to calculate IRR

Answer 18

Use CHS – used to input cash flows received as a positive number and cash flows paid as negative
g CFo – represents a cash flow at time zero
g CFj – represents a cash flow after time zero
F IRR

Question 19

when you are discounting future amounts to present value terms, larger interest rates will lead to ____ present values, while smaller interest rates will lead to ____ present values. This is the exact opposite of compounding.

Answer 19

smaller
larger

Question 20

Calculating a future value will always involve ______ , while calculating a present value will always involve _____.

Answer 20

compounding
discounting

Question 21

An ____ is a series of equal payments

Answer 21

annuity

Question 22

Rule of 72

Answer 22

This rule says that the number of years it takes for a sum of money to double in value (the “doubling time”) is approximately equal to the number 72 divided by the interest rate expressed in percent per year:

Question 23

CHS is the “change sign” key

Answer 23

must be used in order to respect cash flow convention. Your financial calculator is designed to treat cash inflows going into an investment as a negative number and cash outflows (or funds available) from an investment as a positive number. This is particularly important when you are making a calculation that involves both a lump sum and periodic payments (such as a bond). The context of a problem could require these “payments” to be either additional deposits into an account, or funds that will be withdrawn from an account. Just remember, any money that is going into an investment is negative, and money coming out (or is avail

Question 24

If there are no periodic payments involved, you may solve for any of the following four variables, given the other three:

Answer 24

n i PV FV

Question 25

If there are periodic equal payments involved, you may solve for any of the following five variables, given the other four:

Answer 25

n i PV PMT FV

Question 26

what is the keystroke to enter a discount rate?

Answer 26

CHS i

Question 27

real rate of return

Answer 27

nominal rate adjusted for inflation

Question 28

Real rate return formula

Answer 28

n = (Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate)/ (1 + Inflation Rate)

Question 29

____ is a payment that increases incrementally over time. The increase from one year to the next is usually to compensate for the inflation rate. Therefore, even though the payments are increasing through time, the purchasing power is consistent.

Answer 29

A serial payment

Question 30

The present value method -

Answer 30

calculates the lump sum that would be required today to fund some future event.

Question 31

The nominal rate is 7% and the inflation rate is 3%. What is the real rate of return?

Answer 31

nominal rate – inflation rate) ÷ (1 + inflation rate). 7 – 3 = 4 and 4 ÷ 1.03 = 3.88

Question 32

On June 1st, Donna lent a friend $25,000. The term of the loan is for 6.5 years, and carries an annual interest rate of 8.25%. The first monthly payment payable to Donna is due on July 1st, and the will be due the first of each month thereafter. How much are the monthly payments Donna will receive?

Question 33

Marcia wants to begin a business in seven years. She needs to have $75,000 (in today’s dollars) to begin the business. Inflation is expected to average 3.0% over the next seven years and Marcia’s investment projections show that she can earn 6% on her investments over this time horizon. What serial payment should Marcia make at the end of the first and second years?

Question 37

How to calculate Serial Payments:

Answer 37

1. Calculate the future value using the inflation rate
   PV = given
   n = given
   i = given
   FV = SOLVE
2. Calculate the serial payments:
   FV = Solved
   n = given
   i = [(1.interest rate / 1.inflation) – 1] x 100
   PMT = (Solve**) (annuity due)
3. When you schedule the future value of payments, All payments are as follows: Example 5 year payments
   Solve** x 1.interestrate = ___ x (1.inflation)^4 = payment year 1
   Payment year 1 x 1.interestrate = __ x (1.inflation)^3 = payment year 2
   Payment year 2 x 1.interestrate = ___ x (1.inflation)^2 = Payment year 3
   Payment year 3 x 1.interestrate = ___ x (1.inflation)^1 = Payment year 4
   Payment year 4 x 1.interestrate = ___ x (1.inflation)^0 = Payment Year 5
