Time Value of money (LECTURE 2) Flashcards
Why is £100 worth more today than in 1 year’s time?
- Risk, £100 is certain now. Things we have now are more valuable than things we hope to get.
- Inflation, under inflationary conditions purchasing power declines.
- Personal consumption and investment preferences, immediate rather than delayed consumption.
TIME VALUE OF MONEY
- Money has a price, if you own it you can “rent” it out to say a bank.
- Cash should be used to earn highest return.
- Investors return comprises:
- Reward for foregoing immediate consumption.
- Compensation for risk and loss of purchasing power.
What is the role of time value in finance?
- Most financial decisions involve costs and benefits that are spread out over time.
- Time value of money allows comparison of cash flows from different periods.
SIMPLE INTEREST
With simple interest, you don’t earn interest on interest.
So each year you earn the same amount of interest (same percentage of initial investment) not percentage of current savings.
COMPOUND INTEREST
Depositor earns interest on interest.
So each year, the same percentage is taken from the compounded amount of the previous years’ interest.
FUTURE VALUE
Compounding or growth over time.
The value of a sum after investing over one or more periods.
e.g. the future value of £10,000 at 12% is £11,200
10,000 x 1.12 = 11,200
PRESENT VALUE
Discounting today’s value.
How much must you initially invest to get a certain amount of money in the future.
e.g. if you want £11,424 next year and there is a 12% rate, how much must you put in the bank today? Algebraically: PV x 1.12 = £11,424 PV= £11,424/1.12 =£10,200
PV = C1/ 1+r
where C1 is cash flow at date 1 ND R is rate of return (or discount rate).
FUTURE VALUE formula (FVn)
FVn= PV0 (1+K)^n
OR (using table)
PV(FVIFk,n)
PRESENT VALUE (PV0)
FVn[1/(1+k)^n]
OR (using table)
FV(PVIFk,n)
FUTURE VALUE of ANNUITY (FVAn)
A(1+k)^n - 1 / k
OR (using table)
A(FVIFk.n)
PRESENT VALUE of ANNUITY (PVA0)
A 1 - [1/1+k)^n] / k
OR (using table)
A(PVIFAk,n)
TIME VALUE TERMS
PV0, k, FVn, n, A
PV0 = present value or beginning amount
k = interest rate
FVn = future value at the end of n periods
n = number of compounding periods
A = and annuity
ANNUITY
Series of equal payments or receipts.
FUTURE VALUE EXAMPLE:
You deposit £2,000 today at 6% interest. How much will you have in 5 years?
PV = 2,000 k = 6 or 0.06 n = 5
[1] FVn = PV0(1+k)^n
[2] PV(FVIFk,n)
[1] 2,000 x (1.06)^5
[2] 2,000 x FVIF6%,5 = 2,000 x 1.382
= £2,676.40
What happens when you compound more frequently than annually?
- Results in a higher effective interest rate because you are earning on interest on interest more frequently.
- As a result, the effective interest rate is greater than the nominal (annual) interest rate.
- Furthermore, the effective rate of interest will increase the more frequently interest is compounded.
