The Role of Time Value in Finance
• Most financial decisions involve costs & benefits that
are spread out over time.
• Time value of money allows comparison of cash
flows from different periods.
• Question: Your father has offered to give you some
money and asks that you choose one of the following
two alternatives:
– $1,000 today, or
– $1,100 one year from now.
• What do you do?

The Role of Time Value in Finance
(cont.)
• The answer depends on what rate of interest
you could earn on any money you receive
today.
• For example, if you could deposit the $1,000
today at 12% per year, you would prefer to be
paid today.
• Alternatively, if you could only earn 5% on
deposited funds, you would be better off if you
chose the $1,100 in one year.

Basic Concepts
• Future Value: compounding or growth over
time
• Present Value: discounting to today’s value
• Single cash flows & series of cash flows can be
considered
• Time lines are used to illustrate these
relationships

Basic Patterns of Cash Flow
• The cash inflows and outflows of a firm can be described by its general
pattern.
• The three basic patterns include a single amount, an annuity, or a mixed
stream:

4-11
Simple Interest
• With simple interest, you don’t earn interest on interest.
• Year 1: 5% of $100
=
$5 + $100 = $105
• Year 2: 5% of $100
=
$5 + $105 = $110
• Year 3: 5% of $100
=
$5 + $110 = $115
• Year 4: 5% of $100
=
$5 + $115 = $120
• Year 5: 5% of $100
=
$5 + $120 = $125
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
4-12
Compound Interest
• With compound interest, a depositor earns interest on interest!
• Year 1: 5% of $100.00
= $5.00 + $100.00
= $105.00
• Year 2: 5% of $105.00
= $5.25 + $105.00
= $110.25
• Year 3: 5% of $110.25
= $5 .51+ $110.25
= $115.76
• Year 4: 5% of $115.76
= $5.79 + $115.76
= $121.55
• Year 5: 5% of $121.55
= $6.08 + $121.55
= $127.63

Time Value Terms
• PV0 = present value or beginning amount
• i
= interest rate
• FVn = future value at end of “n” periods
• n
= number of compounding periods
• A
= an annuity (series of equal payments
or receipts)
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
4-14
Four Basic Models
• FVn
=
PV0(1+i)n
= PV x (FVIFi,n)
• PV0
=
FVn[1/(1+i)n]
= FV x (PVIFi,n)
A (1+i)n - 1
= A x (FVIFAi,n)
• FVAn =
i
• PVA0
= A 1 - [1/(1+i)n] = A x (PVIFAi,n)
i

Future Value of a Single Amount
• Future Value techniques typically measure cash flows at the end
of a project’s life.
• Future value is cash you will receive at a given future date.
• The future value technique uses compounding to find the future
value of each cash flow at the end of an investment’s life and
then sums these values to find the investment’s future value.
• We speak of compound interest to indicate that the amount of
interest earned on a given deposit has become part of the
principal at the end of the period.

Future Value of a Single Amount: Using
FVIF Tables
• If Fred Moreno places $100 in a savings account
paying 8% interest compounded annually, how
much will he have in the account at the end of
one year?
$100 x (1.08)1
$100 x 1.08
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
= $100 x FVIF8%,1
= $108
4-17
Future Value of a Single Amount: The
Equation for Future Value
• Jane Farber places $800 in a savings account
paying 6% interest compounded annually. She
wants to know how much money will be in the
account at the end of five years.
FV5 = $800 X (1 + 0.06)5 = $800 X (1.338) = $1,070.40

Present Value of a Single Amount
• Present value is the current dollar value of a future amount of
money.
• It is based on the idea that a dollar today is worth more than a
dollar tomorrow.
• It is the amount today that must be invested at a given rate to
reach a future amount.
• Calculating present value is also known as discounting.
• The discount rate is often also referred to as the opportunity cost,
the discount rate, the required return, or the cost of capital.

Present Value of a Single Amount: Using
PVIF Tables
• Paul Shorter has an opportunity to receive $300
one year from now. If he can earn 6% on his
investments, what is the most he should pay now
for this opportunity?
$300 x [1/(1.06)1] = $300 x PVIF6%,1
$300 x 0.9434
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
= $283.02
4-21
Present Value of a Single Amount: The
Equation for Future Value
• Pam Valenti wishes to find the present value of
$1,700 that will be received 8 years from now.
Pam’s opportunity cost is 8%.
PV = $1,700/(1 + 0.08)8 = $1,700/1.851 = $918.42

Annuities
• Annuities are equally-spaced cash flows of equal size.
• Annuities can be either inflows or outflows.
• An ordinary (deferred) annuity has cash flows that
occur at the end of each period.
• An annuity due has cash flows that occur at the
beginning of each period.
• An annuity due will always be greater than an
otherwise equivalent ordinary annuity because interest
will compound for an additional period.

4-24
Types of Annuities
• Fran Abrams is choosing which of two annuities to
receive. Both are 5-year $1,000 annuities; annuity A is
an ordinary annuity, and annuity B is an annuity due.
Fran has listed the cash flows for both annuities as
shown in Table 4.1 on the following slide.
Note that the amount of both annuities total $5,000.

Finding the Future Value of an Ordinary
Annuity
• Fran Abrams wishes to determine how much money she
will have at the end of 5 years if he chooses annuity A,
the ordinary annuity and it earns 7% annually. Annuity
a is depicted graphically below:

4-27
Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity:
Using the FVIFA Tables
FVA = $1,000 (FVIFA,7%,5)
= $1,000 (5.751)
= $5,751

4-28
Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity
• Braden Company, a small producer of plastic toys, wants to
determine the most it should pay to purchase a particular
annuity. The annuity consists of cash flows of $700 at the end
of each year for 5 years. The required return is 8%.

Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity:
Using PVIFA Tables
PVA = $700 (PVIFA,8%,5)
= $700 (3.993)
= $2,795.10
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
4-31
Future Value of an Annuity Due:
Using the FVIFA Tables
• Fran Abrams now wishes to calculate the future
value of an annuity due for annuity B in Table
4.1. Recall that annuity B was a 5 period
annuity with the first annuity beginning
immediately.
FVA
= $1,000(FVIFA,7%,5)(1+.07)
= $1,000 (5.751) (1.07)
= $6,154
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
4-32
Present Value of an Annuity Due:
Using PVIFA Tables
• In the earlier example, we found that the value of
Braden Company’s $700, 5 year ordinary annuity
discounted at 8% to be about $2,795. If we now
assume that the cash flows occur at the beginning of the
year, we can find the PV of the annuity due.
PVA
= $700 (PVIFA,8%,5) (1.08)
= $700 (3.993) (1.08)
= $3,018.40

4-33
Present Value of a Perpetuity
• A perpetuity is a special kind of annuity.
• With a perpetuity, the periodic annuity or cash
flow stream continues forever.
PV = Annuity/Interest Rate
• For example, how much would I have to deposit
today in order to withdraw $1,000 each year
forever if I can earn 8% on my deposit?
PV = $1,000/.08 = $12,500

Compounding Interest More Frequently
Than Annually
• Compounding more frequently than once a year 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.

Compounding Interest More Frequently
Than Annually (cont.)
• Fred Moreno has found an institution that will pay him 8%
annual interest, compounded quarterly. If he leaves the money
in the account for 24 months (2 years), he will be paid 2%
interest compounded over eight periods.

Continuous Compounding
• With continuous compounding the number of compounding
periods per year approaches infinity.
• Through the use of calculus, the equation thus becomes:
FVn (continuous compounding) = PV x (ekxn)
where “e” has a value of 2.7183.
• Continuing with the previous example, find the Future value of
the $100 deposit after 5 years if interest is compounded
continuously.

Continuous Compounding (cont.)
• With continuous compounding the number of
compounding periods per year approaches infinity.
• Through the use of calculus, the equation thus becomes:

Nominal & Effective Annual Rates of
Interest
• The nominal interest rate is the stated or contractual
rate of interest charged by a lender or promised by a
borrower.
• The effective interest rate is the rate actually paid or
earned.
• In general, the effective rate > nominal rate whenever
compounding occurs more than once per year

Nominal & Effective Annual Rates of
Interest (cont.)
• Fred Moreno wishes to find the effective annual rate associated
with an 8% nominal annual rate (I = .08) when interest is
compounded (1) annually (m=1); (2) semiannually (m=2); and
(3) quarterly (m=4).

will take for her initial $1,000 deposit, earning 8% annual
interest, to grow to equal $2,500. Simply stated, at an
8% annual rate of interest, how many years, n, will it
take for Ann’s $1,000 (PVn) to grow to $2,500 (FVn)?
