TIME VALUE OF MONEY
• Time value of money is a critical consideration in financial and investment decisions. For
example,
- compound interest calculations are needed to determine future sums of money resulting
from an investment.
- Discounting, or the calculation of present value, which is inversely related to
compounding, is used to evaluate future cash flow associated with capital budgeting
projects

FUTURE VALUES-
COMPOUNDING
• A dollar in hand today is worth more than a dollar to be received tomorrow because of the
interest it could earn from putting it in a savings account or placing it in an investment
account. Compounding interest means that interest earns interest.

Intrayear Compounding
• Interest is often compounded more frequently than once a year. Banks, for example,
compound interest quarterly, daily, and even continuously. If interest is compounded m
times a year
in the case of semiannual compounding (m = 2),

Future Value of an Annuity
• Present value is the present worth of future sums of money. The process of calculating
present values, or discounting, is actually the opposite of finding the compounded
future value. In connection with present value calculations, the interest rate is called the
discount rate.

Present Value of an Annuity
• Interest received from bonds, pension funds, and insurance obligations all involve
annuities. To compare these financial instruments, we need to know the present value of
each.

Perpetuities
Perpetuities
Some annuities go on forever. Such annuities are called perpetuities. An example of a
perpetuity is preferred stock which yields a constant dollar dividend indefinitely.
Future and present values have numerous applications
in financial and investment decisions

• Deposits to Accumulate a Future Sum (or Sinking Fund) An individual might wish
to find the annual deposit (or payment) that is necessary to accumulate a future sum. To
find this future amount (or sinking fund) we can use the formula for finding the future
value of an annuity.
TIME VALUE OF MONEY
• Bond Values Bonds call for the payment of a specific amount of interest for a stated number of years
and the repayment of the face value at the bond’s maturity. Thus, a bond represents an annuity plus a
lump sum. Its value is found as the present value of this payment stream. The interest is usually paid
semiannually
