Time Value of Money

Learning Objectives
After studying this chapter you will be able to:
Understand the Concept of time value of money.
Understand the relationship between present and future value of money and how
interest rate is used to adjust the value of cash flows in-order to arrive at present
(discounting) or future (compounding) values.
Understand how to calculate the present or future value of an annuity?
Know how to use interest factor tables in order to calculate the present or future
values?
Overview
This chapter basically tries to impart you the concept and importance of monies worth today
as compared to in the future. It talks about present value and future value of your money or
investment. It discusses the concept of opportunity cost and the importance to know how to
compute the time value of money so that you can distinguish between the worth of
investments that offer you returns at different times. This chapter is of utmost importance as
other chapters will expand on the concepts learnt in this chapter. For instance, time value
concept forms the basis of all the modern tools and techniques of capital budgeting decisions
like net present value (NPV) method, internal rate of return method (IRR) to name a few dealt
in Chapter Six under Investment Decisions.
1.
Concept of Time Value of Money
Lets start a discussion on Time Value of Money by taking a very simple scenario. If you are
offered the choice between having ` 10,000 today and having ` 10,000 at a future date, you
will usually prefer to have ` 10,000 now. Similarly, if the choice is between paying ` 10,000
now or paying the same ` 10,000 at a future date, you will usually prefer to pay ` 10,000
later. It is simple common sense. In the first case by accepting ` 10,000 early, you can simply
put the money in the bank and earn some interest. Similarly in the second case by deferring
the payment, you can earn interest by keeping the money in the bank.

Therefore the time gap allowed helps us to make some money. This incremental gain is time
value of money.
Now let me ask a question, if the bank interest was zero (which is generally not the case),
what would be the time value of money? As you rightly guessed it would also be zero.
As we understood above, the interest plays an important role in determining the time value of
money. Interest rate is the cost of borrowing money as a yearly percentage. For investors,
interest rate is the rate earned on an investment as a yearly percentage.
2.
Reasons Why Money in the Future is Worth Less Than Similar

Money Today
There are three reasons why money can be more valuable today than in the future. Lets
discuss them:
(i) Preference for Present Consumption: Individuals have a preference for current
consumption in comparison to future consumption. In order to forego the present
consumption for a future one, they need a strong incentive. Say for example, if the
individuals present preference is very strong then he has to be offered a very high
incentive to forego it like a higher rate of interest and vice versa.
(ii) Inflation: Inflation means when prices of things rise faster than they actually
should. When there is inflation, the value of currency decreases over time. If the
inflation is more, then the gap between the value of money today to the value of money
in future is more. So, greater the inflation, greater is the gap and vice versa.
(iii) Risk: Risk of uncertainty in the future lowers the value of money. Say for example,
non-receipt of payment, uncertainty of investors life or any other contingency which
may result in non-payment or reduction in payment.
Time value of money results from the concept of interest. So it is now time to discuss
Interest.
3.
Simple Interest
It may be defined as Interest that is calculated as a simple percentage of the original principal
amount. Please note the word Original. The formula for calculating simple interest is:
SI = P0 (i)(n)
Where,
SI = simple interest in rupees
P0 = original principal
i = interest rate per time period (in decimals)
n = number of time periods
If we add principal to the interest, we will get the total future value (FV). (Future vale is also
2.3
Financial Management
known as Terminal Value). For any simple interest rate, the future value of an account at the
end of n period is:FVn = P0+ SI = P0 + P0(i)(n)
Illustration1: If you invest Rs 10,000 (P0) in a bank at simple interest of 7% (i) per annum,
what will be the amount at the end of three (n) years?
Solution
Future Value, FVn = P0 + SI = P0 + P0(i)(n) = 10,000 + 10,000(0.07)(3) = 12,100
Illustration 2: ` 2,000 (P0) is deposited in a bank for two (n) years at simple interest of 6% (i).
How much will be the balance at the end of 2 years?
Solution
Required balance is given by
FVn = P0 + P0(i)(n) = 2,000 + 2000 (0.06)( 2) = 2,000 + 240 = ` 2,240.
Illustration 3: Find the rate of interest if the amount owed after 6 (n) months is ` 1,050 (A),
borrowed amount being ` 1,000 (P0).
Solution
We know FVn = P0 + P0(i)(n)
i.e. 1,050 = 1,000 + 1,000(i)(6/12)
Or 1,050-1,000 = 500(i)
Therefore (i) = 50/500 = 0.10
i.e. (i) = 10%
4.
Compound Interest
If interest is calculated on original principal amount it is simple interest. When interest is

calculated on total of previously earned interest and the original principal it compound interest.
Naturally, the amount calculated on the basis of compound interest rate is higher than when
calculated with the simple rate.
Refer Illustration 2 discussed earlier for Simple Interest and just make a change in the way we
calculate interest. Instead of simple we would now choose compound interest (Compounded
Annually). The result would be as follows:Step 1:- Balance at the end of 1st Year would be:FV1 = P1 + P1(i)(n) = 2,000 + 2000 (0.06)( 1) = 2,000 + 120 = ` 2,120
Step 2:- Balance at the end of 2nd Year would be:FV2 = P2 + P2(i)(n) = 2,120 + 2,120 (0.06)( 1) = 2,000 + 128 = ` 2,248 (Rounded off)
In our above example we chose the compounding period to be annually. This time interval
Time Value of Money
2.4
between successive additions of interests is known as conversion (or payment) period.

Typical conversion periods are given below:
Conversion Period
1 day
1 month
3 months
6 months
12 months
Description
Compounded daily
Compounded monthly
Compounded quarterly
Compounded semiannually
Compounded annually
Thus, the accrued amount FVn on a principal P after n payment periods at i (in decimal) rate of
interest per payment period is given by:
FVn = P0 (1 + i)n ,
Where,
i =
Annual rate of interest

r
= .
Number of payment periods per year
k
So FVn = P0 1 + ,when compounding is done k times a year at an annual interest rate r.
Or
FVn = P0 (FVIFi,n),
Where,
FVIFi,n is the future value interest factor at i% for n periods equal (1 + i)n .
Computation of FVn shall be quite simple with a calculator. However, compound interest tables
as well as tables for (1+i)n at various rates per annum with (a) annual compounding; (b)
monthly compounded and (c) daily compounding are available.
It should be remembered that i and n are with respect to per period, which can be different
than a year. For example, annual interest can be payable, on monthly, quarterly or half-yearly
basis. This will be clear from the illustrations given.

2 100
n = 6 2 = 12,
P = 1,000
Compound Amount = 7,500(1+0.03)12 = 7,500 1.42576 = 10,693.20

Compound Interest = 10,693.20 7,500 = 3,193.20
Illustration 5: ` 2,000 is invested at annual rate of interest of 10%. What is the amount after
2 years if the compounding is done?
(a) Annually?
(b) Semi annually? (c) Monthly?
(d) Daily?
Solution
(a) The annual compounding is given by:
FV2 = P (1 + i)n , n being 2, i being
10
= 0.1 and P being 2,000
100
= 2,000 (1.1)2 = 2,000 1.21 = ` 2,420

(b) For Semiannual compounding, n = 2 2 = 4, i = 0.1/2 = 0.05
FV4 = 2,000 ( 1 + 0.05)4 = 2,000 1.2155 = ` 2,431
(c) For monthly compounding, n = 12 2 = 24, i = 0.1/12 = 0.00833
FV24 = 2,000 (1.00833)24 = 2,000 1.22029 = ` 2440.58
(d) For daily compounding, n = 365 2 = 730, i = 0.1/(365) = 0.00027
FV730 = 2,000 (1.00027)730 = 2,000 1.22135 = ` 2,442.70
Illustration 6: Determine the compound amount and compound interest on ` 1,000 at 6%
compounded semiannually for 6 years. Given that (1+i)n = 1.42576 for i = 3% and n = 12.
Solution
i = (6/2) = 3%, n = 6 2 = 12, P = 1,000
Compound amount = P (1 + i)n = 1,000 (1 + 3%)12
= 1,000 1.42576 = ` 1,425.76
Compound interest = 1,425.76 1,000 = ` 425.76
Illustration 7: What annual rate of interest compounded annually doubles an investment in 7
years? Given that 21/7 = 1.104090.
Solution
If the principal be P, FVn = 2P
Since, FVn = P(1 + i)n,
2.7
2P = P(1 + i)7,
Or,
2 = (1 + i)7
Or, 21/7 = 1 + i
Or, 1.104090 = 1 + i
i.e., i = 0.10409
Required rate of interest = 10.41%

Illustration 8: A person opened an account on April, 2012 with a deposit of ` 800. The

4.1 Compound Interest versus Simple Interest: The given figure shows graphically the
differentiation between compound interest and simple interest. The top two ascending lines
show the growth of ` 100 invested at simple and compound interest. The longer the funds are
invested, the greater the advantage with compound interest. The bottom line shows that `
38.55 must be invested now to obtain ` 100 after 10 periods. Conversely, the present value of
` 100 to be received after 10 years is ` 38.55.

Present Value
Lets first define Present Value. Simple definition is Present Value is the current value of a
2.9
Future Amount. It can also be defined as the amount to be invested today (Present Value) at
a given rate over specified period to equal the Future Amount.
If we reverse the flow by saying that we expect a fixed amount after n number of years, and
we also know the current prevailing interest rate, then by discounting the future amount, at the
given interest rate, we will get the present value of investment to be made.
Compounding
Present Value
Future Value
Discounting
Discounting future amount converts it into present value amount.
compounding converts present value amount into future value amount.
Similarly,
Therefore, we can say that the present value of a sum of money to be received at a future
date is determined by discounting the future value at the interest rate that the money could
earn over the period. This process is known as Discounting. The figure below shows
graphically how the present value interest factor varies in response to changes in interest rate
and time. The present value interest factor declines as the interest rate rises and as the length
of time increases.

Graphic View of Discounting

The present value interest rate or the future value interest rate is known as the discount
rate. This discount rate is the rate with which the present value or the future value is
traded off. A higher discount rate will result in a lower value for the amount in the
Time Value of Money

future. This rate also represents the opportunity cost as it captures the returns that an
individual would have made on the next best opportunity.
Since finding present value is simply the reverse of finding Future Value (FV), the formula for
Future Value (FV) can be readily transformed into a Present Value formula. Therefore the P0,
the Present Value becomes:-
P0 =
FVn
(1 + i)n
OR P0 = FVn (1 + i) n
Where, FVn =

Future value n years hence

Rate of interest per annum
Number of years for which discounting is done.
As mentioned earlier, computation of P may be simple if we make use of either the calculator
or the Present Value table showing values of (1+i) n for various time periods/per annum
interest rates. For positive i, the factor (1 + i) n is always less than 1, indicating thereby,
future amount has smaller present value.
Illustration 11: What is the present value of Re. 1 to be received after 2 years compounded
annually at 10%?
Solution
Here FVn = 1, i = 0.1

Illustration 12: Find the present value of ` 10,000 to be required after 5 years if the interest
rate be 9 per cent. Given that (1.09)5 = 1.5386
Solution
Here, i = 0.09,
n = 5,
FVn = 10,000

Solution
Here n = 10, i = 0.1

P = FVn (1 + i) n
= 50,000 (1.1) 10

Illustration 15: Mr. X has made real estate investment for ` 12,000 which he expects will
have a maturity value equivalent to interest at 12% compounded monthly for 5 years. If most
savings institutions currently pay 8% compounded quarterly on a 5 year term, what is the least
amount for which Mr. X should sell his property? Given that (1 + i)n = 1.81669670 for i = 1%
and n = 60 and that (1 + i) n = 0.67297133 for i = 2% and n = 20.
Solution
It is a two-part problem. First being determination of maturity value of the investment of `

12,000 and then finding of present value of the obtained maturity value.
Maturity value of the investment may be found from FVn = P (1+i)n,
Where P = 12,000, i =
12
= 1%, n = 5 12 = 60.
12
Now, FVn = 12,000 (1+1%)60 = 12,000 1.81669670

= 21,800.36040000 = ` 21,800.36
Thus, maturity value of the investment in real estate = ` 21,800.36
The present value, P of the amount FVn due at the end of n interest periods at the rate of i%
interest per period is given by P = FVn (1 + i) n

We have in the present case, FVn = ` 21,800.36, i =

Thus, P = 21,800.36 (1+ 2%)20

= 21,800.36 0.67297133 = ` 14,671.02
Mr. X should not sell the property for less than ` 14,671.02
7.
Annuity
An annuity is a stream of regular periodic payment made or received for a specified period of
time. In an ordinary annuity, payments or receipts occur at the end of each period.
7.1 Future Value of an Annuity: Expressed algebraically, FVAn is defined as future

(compound) value of an annuity, R the periodic receipt (or payment), and n the length of the
annuity, the formula for FVAn is:FVAn = R(I + i) n1 + R (1+i) n2 + + R(I + i) 1 + R (1+i)0
As we can see, FVAn is simply equal to the periodic receipt (R) times the sum of the
future value interest factors at i percent for time periods 0 to n-1.
As a shortcut, If R be the periodic payments, the amount FVAn of the annuity is given by:
FVAn = R
(1+i)n -1
i
FVAn = R (FVIFAi,n)
OR
Where FVIFAi,n stands for the future interest factor of an annuity at i% for n periods.
Table for FVAn at different rates of interest may be used conveniently, if available, to workout

Where FVn = 65,039.68, n = 18 2 = 36, i =

Illustration 22: Determine the present value of ` 700 each paid at the end of each of the next
six years. Assume an 8 per cent of interest.
Solution
As the present value of an annuity of ` 700 has to be computed. The present value factor of
an annuity of Re. 1 at 8 per cent for 6 years is 4.623. Therefore, the present value of an
annuity of ` 700 will be: 4.623 ` 700 = ` 3,236.10

Perpetuity
Perpetuity is an annuity in which the periodic payments or receipts begin on a fixed date and
continue indefinitely or perpetually. Fixed coupon payments on permanently invested
(irredeemable) sums of money are prime examples of perpetuities.
The formula for evaluating perpetuity is relatively straight forward. Two points which are
important to understand in this regard are:.
(a)
The value of the perpetuity is finite because receipts that are anticipated far in the future
have extremely low present value (today's value of the future cash flows).
(b) Additionally, because the principal is never repaid, there is no present value for the
principal.
Therefore the price of perpetuity is simply the coupon amount over the appropriate discount
rate or yield.

8.1 Calculation of Multi Period Perpetuity: The formula for determining the present
value of multi-period perpetuity is as follows:

Where:
R = the payment or receipt each period
i = the interest rate per payment or receipt period
Illustration 24: Ramesh wants to retire and receive ` 3,000 a month. He wants to pass this
monthly payment to future generations after his death. He can earn an interest of 8%
compounded annually. How much will he need to set aside to achieve his perpetuity goal?
R = ` 3,000
Solution
i = 0.08/12 or 0.00667
Substituting these values in the above formula, we get
PVA =
` 3,000
0.00667
= ` 4,49,775
If he wanted the payments to start today, he must increase the size of the funds to handle the
first payment. This is achieved by depositing ` 4,52,775 which provides the immediate
payment of ` 3,000 and leaves ` 4,49,775 in the fund to provide the future ` 3,000 payments.
8.2 Calculation of Growing Perpetuity: A stream of cash flows that grows at a constant
rate forever is known as growing perpetuity.
The formula for determining the present value of growing perpetuity is as follows:

Sinking Fund
It is the fund created for a specified purpose by way of sequence of periodic payments over a
time period at a specified interest rate.
Size of the sinking fund deposit is computed from FVA=R[FVIFA(i,n)], where FVA is the
amount to be saved, R, the periodic payment, n, the payment period.
Illustration 26: How much amount is required to be invested every year so as to accumulate
` 3,00,000 at the end of 10 years if the interest is compounded annually at 10%?
Solution
Here,
FVA= 3,00,000 n = 10
Since,
FVA=R[FVIFA(i,n)]
i = 0.1
3,00,000= R[FVIFA(0.10,10)]
= R* 6.1146
Therefore, R =
3,00,000
= 18,823.62 = R = ` 18,823.62

will be made on April 6, 2012. The company will make equal annual payments and expects
that the fund will earn 12 percent per year. How much will be the amount of sinking fund
payment?
Solution
XYZ Company wants to accumulate a future sum of ` 10,00,000. Since the annual payments
will be made in the beginning of the year, the formula for the compound value of an annuity
can be used.

Illustration 29: Assume that it is now January 1, 2013 and Shyam needs ` 1,000 on January
1, 2014. His bank compounds interest at an 8 per cent annual rate.
(a) How much must he deposit on January 1, 2014, to have a balance of ` 1,000 on January
1, 2017?
(b) If he wants to make equal payments on each January 1 from 2014 through 2017 to
accumulate the ` 1,000 how large must each of the 4 payments be?
(c) If his friend were to offer either to make the payments calculated in part (b) (` 221.92) or
to give him a lump sum of ` 750 on January 1, 2014, which would he choose?
(d) If he had only ` 750 on January 1, 2014, what interest rate, compounded annually, would
he have to earn to have the necessary ` 1,000 on January 1, 2017?
(e) Suppose he can deposit only ` 186.29 each from January 1, 2014 through 2017 but he
still needs ` 1,000 on January 1, 2017. What interest rate, with annual compounding,
must he seek out to achieve his goal?
(f)
To help Shyam reach ` 1,000 goal, his father offers to give him ` 400 on January 1,
2014. He will get a part-time job and make 6 additional payments of equal amount
search 6 months thereafter. If all of this money is deposited in a bank that pays 8 per
cent, compounded semiannually, how large must each of the 6 payments be?
(g) What is the effective annual rate being paid by the bank in part (f)?
Solution
(a) Shyams deposit will grow for 3 years at 8 per cent. The fact that it is now January 1,
2013, is irrelevant. The deposit on January 1, 2014, is the present value, PV, and the
future value, FV, is ` 1,000. Solving for PV:
PV =
FV
(1 + i)
` 1,000
(1.08)3
=` 793.83.
(b) Here, we are dealing with a 4 year annuity whose first payment occurs one year from
today, on 1/1/11, and whose future value must equal ` 1,000. When N = 4, I = 8, PV = 0,
FV = 1,000, then PMT = ` 221.92.
PMT (FVIFA8%,4) = FVA4
2.19
(1 + 0.08)4 1
PMT
= ` 1,000
0.08
PMT =
` 1,000
= ` 221.92 = Payment necessary to accumulate ` 1,000
4.5061
(c) This problem can be approached in several ways. Perhaps the simplest is to ask this
question: If Shyam received ` 750 on 1/1/11 and deposited it to earn 8 per cent, would
he have the required ` 1,000 on 1/1/14? The answer is No.
FV3 = ` 750(1.08)(1.08)(1.08) = ` 944.78.

This indicates that Shyam should let his father make the payments rather than accept the
lump sum of ` 750.
He should also compare the ` 750 with the PV of the payments as shown:
Using N = 4, I = 8, PMT = 221.92, FV = 0, PV can be solved as PV = ` 735.03.
PMT (PVIFA8%,4) = PVA4
1
1 (1 + 0.08)4
` 221.92
0.08
= PVA 4
` 221.92 (3.3121) = ` 735.02 = Present value of the required payments.

This is less than the ` 750 lump sum offer, so Shyams initial reaction might be to accept
the lump sum of ` 750. However, this would be a mistake. The problem is that when the
` 735.03 PV of the annuity is found, the value of the annuity today, on January 1, 2013.
He is comparing ` 735.03 today with the lump sum of ` 750 1 year from now. This is, of
course, invalid. What he should have done was take the ` 735.03, recognize that this is
the PV of an annuity as of January 1, 2013, multiply ` 735.03 by 1.08 to get ` 793.83,
and compare ` 793.83 with the lump sum of ` 750. He should then take his fathers offer
to make the payments rather than take the lump sum on January 1, 2014.
(d) Using N = 3, PV = 750, PMT = 0, FV = 1,000, I can be solved as 10.0642%.
(e)
Using N = 4, PV = 0, PMT = 186.29, FV = 1,000, I can be solved as 19.9997%.

Shyam might be able to find a borrower willing to offer him a 20 per cent interest rate, but
there would be some risk involved he or she might not actually pay him his ` 1,000.
(f)
Find the future value of the original ` 400 deposit:

FV6 = PV (1.04)6 = ` 400 (1.2653) = ` 506.13.
This means that on January 1, 2017, he needs an additional sum of ` 493.87:
` 1,000.00 ` 506.13 = ` 493.87.

Illustration 30: Bank of Delhi pays 8 per cent interest, compounded quarterly, on its money
market account. The managers of Bank of Gurgaon want its money market account to equal
Bank of Delhis effective annual rate, but interest is to be compounded on monthly basis. What

Bank of Delhis effective annual rate is 8.24 per cent:

Effective annual rate = 1 +
1.0 = (1.02) 1 = 1.0824 1 = 0.0824 = 8.24%.

i
= 0.00662

i = 0.07944 = 7.94%.
2.21
Thus, the two banks have different quoted rates Bank of Delhis quoted rate is 8%,
while Bank of Gurgaons quoted rate is 7.94%; however, both banks have the same
effective annual rate of 8.24%. The difference in their quoted rates is due to the
difference in compounding frequency.
SUMMARY
Money has time value.

A rupee today is more valuable than a rupee a year hence.
We use rate of interest to express the time value of money.
Simple Interest may be defined as Interest that is calculated as a simple percentage of
the original principal amount.
Formula : SI = P0 (i)(n)
Compound interest is calculated on total of previously earned interest and the Original
Principal.
The Present Value of a sum of money to be received at a future date is determined by
discounting the future value at the interest rate that the money could earn over the period
FVn
Formula: P0 =
OR P0 = FVn (1 + i) n
(1 + i)n
Future Value is the value at some future time of a present amount of money, or a series
of payments, evaluated at a given interest rate.
Formula: FVn = P0+ SI = P0 + P0(i)(n) or
r
FVn = P0 1 +
An annuity is a series of equal payments or receipts occurring over a specified number of

periods.
a. Present value of an ordinary annuity cash flows occur at the end of each period,
and present value is calculated as of one period before the first cash flow.
b. Present value of an annuity due cash flows occur at the beginning of each period,
and present value is calculated as of the first cash flow.
Formula: PVAn = = R (PVIFi,n)
c.
Future value of an ordinary annuity cash flows occur at the end of each period,
and future value is calculated as of the last cash flow.
d.
Future value of an annuity due cash flows occur at the beginning of each period,
and future value is calculated as of one period after the last cash flow.
Formula: FVAn = R (FVIFAi,n)
