Time Value of Money
When money is some how invested (and not just placed under a mattress or
in a safe), the amount of money grows
Although money loses value over time due to inflation, the amount of
money in an account that earns a positive ROR will be greater in the future
than what it is today
Thus the money in the account has different values at different points in time
This is what the term “Time Value of Money” refers to
The ROR should compensate for opportunity cost, inflation and risk
 the increasing amount of money over time should more than make up
for the value lost due to inflation and opportunity costs
Time Lines / Cash Flow Diagrams
For the rest of this course, we will deal with cash flows that occur over some
period of time
It is ever so helpful to be able to depict these cash flows graphically
We will use Time Lines (also called Cash Flow Diagrams) to do this because
they are….
a means to visually depict cash flows, both positive and negative
(incoming and outgoing) so we get a clearer idea of what’s happening
a means to inventory what we know and what we don’t know about a
problem
a tool to help us decide on what we need to find & do in order to solve
the problem
Your basic Time Line (without cash flows) looks like this:

The Future 
Note: the time units can be what ever they need to be; days, weeks,
months, years, etc.

Future Value:
Future Value (FV) (a noun):
The amount to which an investment grows when it earns a
positive rate of return.
Compounding (a verb):
The process of going from today’s values (“present values”) to
values at some future time (“future values”).
Applying the effects of TVM
The process of determining the Future Value of a cash flow or
a series of cash flows.
 Converting present/previous/prior values to future values
The Interest Rate/Rate of Return is the conversion factor:
Example (Simple Case): You deposit $100 in a savings account that
pays 6% per year (1 compounding period per year). What amount of
money would you have in this account after 1 year? (What is the
future value of $100 @ 6% after 1 year?)
 In this example, there is only one period (1 year); therefore n = 1
 Interest that is paid-out over only one interest earning period is
called simple interest
Draw a cash flow diagram (a time line with cash flows added):
PV = $100
r = 6%
0
FV = ?
or this…..

PV = $100
r = 6%

FV = ?
MGT 326 Ch. 4: Time Value of Money (bdh) Part 1
Example (continued):
The future value includes the principle and the interest
How much is the interest? Answer: Int. = Principle x Int. Rate
= $100 x 0.06 = $6
How much is the future value? Answer: $100 + $6 = $106
Basic formula for finding Future Value: FV = PV(1 + r)n
PV: Present Value of the principle or investment
r: interest rate, Yield, ROR (the symbol k or i can also be used)
n: number of periods
FV: Future Value of the investment,
includes the amount invested plus the return/profit
for a loan, this includes the principle plus all accumulated
interest
The (1 + r)n portion of the formula is called the “Future Value
Interest Factor” (FVIFr,n) and can be found on a FVIF table
 (1 + r)n is also called the “compounding” factor
When “r” is used in compounding, it is referred to as the
“compound rate”
You can think of r as an “exchange rate” i.e. the rate at which we
can exchange money today for money in the future
Example: Same as before but use the basic formula to find FV.
Draw a cash flow diagram:
PV =$100
0
FV = ?
r = 6%
FV = PV(1 + r)n
= $100(1 + 0.06)1
= $100(1.06)
= $106

Solution Method 2: Use your TI BA II Plus financial calculator
1) Clear your calculator: [2nd, QUIT]
2) Clear the TVM memories: [2nd, CLR TVM]
3) Set payments per year to 1: [2nd, P/Y, 1, ENTER, CE/C]
4) Enter parameters:
 Enter number of periods [1, N]
 Enter interest rate [6, I/Y] (the calculator assumes you
mean it as 6%)
 Enter PV [100, PV]
 Find FV [CPT, FV] and voila! FV = (-) $106.00 Why is
FV negative?
Important TVM Concept:
$100 today is equivalent to $106 one year from now if the current
investment opportunity is 6%
and
$106 one year from now (@ 6% ROR) is equivalent to $100 today
Compound Interest
What happens when money is left in a bank account for more than
one interest paying time period (for more than 1 compounding
period)?
Example: You deposit $100 in a savings account that pays 6% per
year. What amount of money would you have in this account
after 2 years? (What is the future value of $100 @ 6% after 2
years?) (Abbreviation notation: FV100,6%,2yr)
Draw a cash flow diagram:
PV = $100
r = 6%

FV = ?

MGT 326 Ch. 4: Time Value of Money (bdh) Part 1
Compound Interest (continued)
Example (continued)
The account collects interest after one year ($6 as per previous
example) which results in a balance of $106 (FV1 = $106)
During the second year, interest is paid on the one year balance
(i.e. the $106 earns 6% interest)
FV2 = $100(1 + 0.06)(1 + 0.06)
FV1
FV2 = $100(1 + 0.06)2 = $112.36
When an investment is held for more than one interest paying
period, the interest is “compounded” (interest is paid on previously
earned interest as well as on the principle)
Each interest paying period is called a “compounding period”
In this context, “r” is referred to as the “compound rate”
Solution Method 2: Use the financial functions on your calculator

Present Value:
Money that is expected to be received or paid in the future does not
have the same value as today’s money because of TVM
In order to determined what future money is worth in terms of
today’s dollars, we have to reverse the effects of TVM; this is referred
to as discounting
Present Value (PV) (a noun): the value today (the value in "today's
dollars") of a future cash flow or series of cash flows.
Discounting (a verb):
The process of going from future values to present values.
(The “reverse” of compounding.)
Reversing the effect of TVM
The process of finding the Present Value of a future cash flow
or series of cash flows.
Converting future dollars into “today’s” dollars
Basic formula for finding Present Value: PV = FV / (1 + r)n
The 1/(1 + r)n portion of the formula is called the “Present Value
Interest Factor” (PVIFr,n) and can be found on a PVIF table
1/(1 + r)n is also called the “discounting” factor
When “r” is used to discount, it is referred to as the “discount rate”
10
MGT 326 Ch. 4: Time Value of Money (bdh) Part 1
Present Value:
Example (Simple Case): What is the Present Value of $200 discounted for 1
year @ 4% per year? (Abbreviation notation: PV200,4%,1) In other words, how
much would we have to deposit today into an account that pays 4% per year in
order to have $200 one year from now?
Draw a cash flow diagram:
FV = $200
r = 4%
0
1
PV = ?
Solution Method 1: Use the Formula
PV = FV / (1 + r)n
= $200 / (1 + 0.04)1
= $200 /(1.04)1
= $200 / 1.04
= $192.30
Solution Method 2: Use your financial calculator
1) Clear TVM Memory: [2nd, CLEAR TVM]
2) Set/ensure payments per year = 1: [2nd, P/Y, 1, ENTER, CE/C]
3) Enter parameters:
Enter number of periods [1, N]
Enter interest rate [4, I/Y]
Enter FV [200, FV]
Find PV [CPT, PV] and voila! PV = (-) $192.30
Why did we use 4% to discount the future cash flow?
Answer:
It is the specified compound rate
It is the rate at which we expect our investment to grow to achieve
a future value
Since discounting is the opposite of compounding, we must
discount at that exact same rate in order to find the present value

Very Important Financial Concepts:
Re-word the example from p. 12: You are considering purchasing a
security that promises to pay $5,000 three years from now. What is
this security theoretically worth today (or….. what is its fair market
value?) if your best investment opportunity yields 12%?
Answer: $3,558.90
Financial Valaution Principle: The present value of any financial
asset depends on usable, after-tax cash flow it is expected to
produce in the future
But, due to the Time Value of Money, we have to discount those
expected future cash flows in order to convert them into today’s
dollars.
Thus: The overriding, all important, never-to-be-forgotten Financial
Valuation Process is: The theoretical value (fair market value or
“no-arbitrage” price) of any financial asset is determined by
discounting all future expected cash flows to the present (i.e. find
the PV @ t = 0 of all cash flows) and adding them up
This is the present value of the asset.
This is what the asset is theoretically worth today, without profits,
fees or other transaction costs
This is the fair market value/no-arbitrage price of the asset today,
without profits, fees or other transaction costs
13
MGT 326 Ch. 4: Time Value of Money (bdh) Part 1
Use the Financial Valuation Process to Make a Decision
Example: Consider two different investment options:
-Option A: For an initial cost of $9,000 you receive $12,600 at the end
of four years.
-Option B: For an initial investment of $20,000 you receive $26,000 at
the end of four years
-Your best investment opportunity yields 6% p.a. ( per annum).
Which is the best investment option?
Step 1: Find the present value of the future cash flows of both options
Option A: N=4, I/Y=6, FV=12600, CPT PV: PV = $9,980.38
Option B: N=4, I/Y=6, FV=26000, CPT PV: PV = $20,594.44
Step 2: Compute the net profit from each investment (Discounted
Future Cash Flows – Initial Costs)
Option A: $9,980.38 - $9,000 = $980.38
Option B: $20,594.44 - $20,000 = $594.44
Answer: Option A is the better investment
Net Profit (Discounted Future Cash Flows – Initial Costs) is also
called Net Present Value (NPV)
NPV = PV of Benefits – PV of Costs
Read Section 3.5 in your text book
Point: This is a fundamental way to make a financial decision
Important TVM Rule: It is only possible to compare or combine
values at the same point in time i.e. if you want to compare or
combine values, they must have the same time value of money (they
must be in terms of t = 0 dollars or t = 5 dollars or t = 10 dollars, etc.)

Solving for Interest Rate (or IRR)
Example: Your broker proposes an investment scheme that will pay
you $1000 one year from now for an initial cost of $900 today. What
is the annual return on this investment?
Draw a cash flow diagram
FV = $1000
r = ?%

PV = $900
Solve for r using the PV (or FV) formula:
FVn = PV(1 + r)n
$1000 = $900(1 + r)1
$1000/$900 = (1 + r)1
(1.1111)1 = 1 + r
r = 1.1111 - 1
r = 0.1111 = 11.1111% per year

(1.1111)1/2 = 1 + r
r = 1.054093- 1
r = 0.05493 = 5.4093% per year
Calculator Financial Function Solution:
Important Point: Rates of Return are always expressed on an annual
basis. Why?
Why can’t you use (New-Old) / Old?
(New - Old) / Old = (1000 - 900) / 900 x 100% = 11.1111%
This is the return over 2 years, not an annual rate

Example: Your broker proposes an investment scheme that will pay
you $1000 two years from now for an initial cost of $900 today. What
is the total return on this investment?
(New - Old) / Old = (1000 - 900) / 900 x 100% = 11.1111%
Why don’t you just multiply the annual rate of return (5.4093%) by
2 (to produce 10.8186%) ?
Solving for the number of periods (n)
Example: How long will it take to double an investment of $1000 @
6% annual interest?

Why did we use 5% to discount the future cash flows?
Answer: It is the Opportunity Cost of Capital
 This is the rate we expect our invest to grow (compound)
 The opposite of compounding is discounting
 We must use the same rate for the discount rate to find PV
Important Assumption: The number of payments per year
corresponds to the number of compounding periods per year. Unless
otherwise specified, this is usually the case. Later we will discuss
what to do when this is not the case.
Another Important Assumption: Payments are reinvested at the
discount rate. Unless otherwise specified, this is usually the case.
Later we will discuss what to do when this is not the case.

Annuity Due
The previous examples were “ordinary” annuities or “annuity in
arrears”; all payments occurred at the end of the period (“deferred
payments”)
An annuity in which payments occur at the beginning of a period
is call an “annuity due” Examples?
Example: Your company is considering leasing a warehouse for 3
years @ $3,000 per year, paid at the beginning of each year. What is
the PV of the lease if the appropriate opportunity cost is 6%?

Formula Solution:
Process: Discount all of the cash flows back to t = 0 and add them up
PV = CF1 + CF2/(1 + r)1 + CF3/(1 + r)2
= 3000 + 3000/(1 + 0.06)1 + 3000/(1 + 0.06)2
= 3000 + 3000/(1.06)1 + 3000/(1.06)2
= 3000 + 3000/1.06 + 3000/1.1236

Using Your Calculator:
Example: You are considering either buying a computer or leasing one
@ $725 per year (paid at the beginning of the year) for 3 years. The
current value of the computer is $2,000. You don’t have that much
cash but you can get a loan for 8%. Which would cost less, buying or
leasing? Assume the computer is worth $0 at the end of 3 years (0
salvage value). (Hint: Find what return the leasing company will earn
and compare it to the cost of debt)

But the annual payment for borrowing is greater than that for
leasing. How can borrowing (in this case) be better than leasing?
Response: Convert the lease from an annuity due to an ordinary
annuity and solve for the annual payment using 9.0206% APR
then compare to the loan payments
