Complex Cash Flows
Complex Cash Flows – Break apart
(or separate) complex cash flows
into component cash flows in order
to use the standard formulas.
Remember: You can only combine
cash flows if they occur at the same
point in time.
CRITICAL POINT
When using the factors,
n and i must always match!
Use the effective interest rate
formulas to make sure that i
matches the period of interest
Interest Rate Terms…
● Compounding Period (cp) – the time between points
when interest is computed and added to the initial amount.
● Payment Period (pp) – the shortest time between
payments. Interest is earned on payment money once per
period (cost of money)
● Nominal Rate ( r ) – is a simplified expression of the
annual cost of money. It means nothing, unless the
compounding period is stated along with it.
● Annual Percentage Rate (APR) – is the nominal interest
rate on a yearly basis (credit cards, bank loans, …). It, too,
should have a compounding period stated.
● Effective Rate ( i ) – is the rate that is used with the table
factors or the closed form equations, and it converts the
nominal rate taking into account both the compounding
period and the payment period so that the blocks match.
Summary of Effective Rates
An “APR” or “% per year” statement is a Nominal interest rate
– denoted r – unless there is no compounding period stated
The Effective Interest rate per period is used with tables & formulas
Formulas for Effective Interest Rate:
If continuous compounding, use i  er ( y )  1
y is length of pp, expressed in decimal years
m
If cp < year, and pp = 1 year, use i  1  r   1
a
m is # compounding periods per year
 m
If cp < year, and pp = cp, use
m is # compounding periods per year
i
r
m
m
If cp < year, and pp > cp, use
me is # cp per payment period
r e

ie  1    1
 m
Remember…
As the compounding period gets smaller,
the effective interest rate will increase.
CONTINUOUS COMPOUNDING:
i = e( r )(years) – 1
NOTE: In this continuous formula, the r value will
be specified as a nominal annual rate (% per year)
so you have to use the length of pay period in
years, not number of periods, for which you are
looking for the effective interest rate.
(Note: r and years are expressed as decimals!)
IF CP < 1 Year, and PP = CP …
EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE
r
nominal interest rate
i = __ = _________________________________
m
# of compounding periods per nominal
NOTE: In this formula, the interest rate
you want (i ) is for a smaller period than
the interest rate that you have (interest
rate per compound period). So… (m) is
the number of those smaller periods in
the larger, nominal period for which you
have the nominal interest rate (r).
If CP < 1 Year and PP = 1 Year…
EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE
ia =
( 1 + interest rate per cp) (# of cp per year) – 1
REMEMBER: In this formula, the interest
you want (ia ) is for a larger period than
the interest rate that you have (interest
rate per compound period). So… the
“number of compound periods per year”
is the number of those smaller periods in
the annual period for which you want to
find ia . (And interest rate per cp = r / m !)
If CP < 1 Year and PP > CP …
EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE
ie =
( 1 + interest rate per cp) (# of cp per pp) – 1
REMEMBER: In this formula, the interest
you want (ie ) is also for a larger period
than the interest rate that you have
(interest rate per compound period).
So… the “number of cp per pp” is the
number of those smaller compounding
periods in the payment period for which
you want to find ie . (And interest rate per cp = r / m !)
Other Terms to Know…
● Sunk Costs – money that was already spent in the past
that has no effect on the financial decision to be made now.
● Equity – financing funds provided by someone with an
ownership stake in the project.
● Debt – financing funds provided by someone without an
ownership stake in the project. These funds will depend on
the owner’s credit worthiness and possibly on collateral
assets that may be sold to pay off the remainder owed.
● Loan – Funds provided upfront (at Time 0) to finance a
project that will be paid back, with interest, over the life of
the project loan (starting one payment period later, and
continuing through Time n).
● Lease – Use of an asset over the life of the project lease,
provisioned upon periodic payments, with interest, that
occur ahead of each period of use. (So the 1st payment
begins at Time 0, and continues through Time n – 1)
