1. The Time Value of Money and Interest Rates
The time value of money (TVM) refers to the fact that $1 today is worth more than $1 in the future. This is
because the $1 today can be invested to earn interest immediately. The TVM reflects the relationship
between present value, future value, time, and interest rate. The time value of money underlies rates of
return, interest rates, re quires rates of return, discount rates, opportunity costs, inflation, and risk. It
reflects the relationship between time, cash flow, and an interest rate.
There are three ways to interpret interest rate:
1. Required rate of return is the return required by investors or lenders to postpone their current
consumption.
2. Discount rate is the rate used to discount the future cash flows to allow for the time value of
money (that is, to bring future value equivalent to present value).
3. Opportunity cost is the most valuable alternative investors give up by choosing what they could
do with the money.
In a certain world, the interest rate is called the risk-free rate. For investors preferring current to future
consumption, the risk-free interest rate is the rate of compensation they require to postpone current
consumption. For example, the interest rate paid by T-bills is a risk-free rate of interest.

In an uncertain world, there are two factors that complicate interest rates:
1. Inflation: When prices are expected to increase, lenders charge not only an opportunity cost of
postponing consumption but also an inflation premium that takes into account the expected
increase in prices. The nominal cost of money consists of the real rate (a pure rate of interest) and
an inflation rate (a pure rate of interest) and an inflation premium.
2. Risk: Companies exhibit varying degrees of uncertainty concerning their ability to repay lenders.
Lenders therefore charge interest rate to incorporate default risk. The return that borrowers pay
thus comprises the nominal risk-free rate (real rate + an inflation premium) and a default risk
premium.
Compounding is the process of accumulating interest over some period of time. Compounding period is the
number of times per year in which interest is paid. Continuous compounding occurs when the number of
compounding periods becomes infinite, that is, interest is added continuously.
Discounting is the calculation of the present value of some known future value. Discount rate is the rate
used to calculate the present value of some future cash flow. Discounted Cash Flow is the present value
today of some future cash flow.

2. Calculate The Effective Annual Rate.
There are three ways to quote interest rates for investments paying interest more than once a year.
1. Periodic interest rate is the rate of interest earned over a single compounding period. For
example, a bank may state that a particular CD pays a periodic quarterly interest rate of 3% that
compounds 4 times a year.
2. Stated annual interest rate, also called quoted interest rate, is the annual rate of interest that does
not account for compounding within the year. It is the annual interest rate quoted by financial
institutions, and equal to the periodic interest rate times the number of compounding periods per
year. For example, the stated annual interest rate of the above CD is 3% x 4 = 12%. It is strictly a
quoting convention, and it does not give a future value directly.
3. Effective annual rate (EAR) is the annual rate of interest that takes full account of compounding
within the year. The periodic interest rate is the stated annual interest rate divided by m, where m
is the number of compounding periods in one year: EAR = (1 +periodic interest rate)^m-1 note
that the higher the compounding frequency, the higher the EAC.
For example, a $1 investment earning 8%compounded semiannually actually earns8.16%: (1 + 0.08/2)^2 -
1 = 8.16. The annual interest rate is 8%, and the effective annual rate is 8.16%

3. The Future Value And Present Value of a Single Cash Flow.
When you make a single investment today, its future value that will be received an N year from now is as
follows:
FVN = PV X (1 + r)N
Where
• FV = future value at time n
• PV = present value
• r = interest rate per period
• N = number of years
A key assumption of the future value formula is that interim interest earned is reinvested at the given
interest rate (r). This is known as compounding.

In order to receive a single future cash flow N years from now, you must make an investment today in the
following amount:
Notice that the future cash flow is discounted back to the present. Therefore the interest rate is called the
discount rate.
You should be able to calculate PVs and FVs using your calculator, where
• N = number of periods
• I/Year = yield in market place or the Required Rate of Return
• PV = present value
• PMT = payment amount per period
• FV = the future value of the investment
One can solve for any of the above variables. Just input the other variables and solve for the unknown.
Using the calculator on the test will prove to be a very time efficient manner of calculating present values
and future values.

Example 1
An analyst invests $5million in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) at a local financial institution. The CD
promises to pay 7% per year compounded annually. The institution also allows him to reinvest the interest
at the same CD rate for the duration of the CD. How much will the analyst have at the end of five years if
his money remains invested at 7% for five years with no withdrawals of interest?
Before using the Texas Instruments BAII PLUS and HP 12C calculator, it is essential to ensure that your
settings are correct. The default settings on the calculator are not necessarily the settings you need

When compounding periods are not annual Some investments pay interest more than once a year. When
you solve these problems, make sure that periodic interest rates must correspond to the number of
compounding periods in the year. For example, if time periods are quoted in quarters, quarterly interest
rates should be used.
Whenever the compounding periods are other than annual
Where
• = the quoted annual interest rate
• m = the number of compounding periods per year
• N = the number of years.

promises to pay 7% per year, compounded semiannually. The institution also allows him to reinvest the
interest at the same CD rate for the duration of the CD. . How much will the analyst have at the end of five
years if his money remains invested at 7% for five years with no withdrawals of interest?

Note that the answer is greater than when the compounding was annual. This is because interest is earned
twice a year instead of only once.
If the number of compounding periods becomes infinite, interest is compounding continuously.

4. The Future Value and Present Value of a Series of Equal Cash Flows (Ordinary
Annuities, Annuity Dues, and Perpetuities).
Annuity is a finite set of sequential cash flows, all with the same value. Ordinary annuity has a first cash
flow that occurs one period from now (indexed at t = 1). In another word, the payments occur at the end of
each period.
• Future value of a regular annuity

Where
• A = annuity amount
• N = number of regular annuity payments
• r = interest rate per period.
• Present value of a regular annuity

Annuity due has a first cash flow that is paid immediately (indexed at t = 0). In another word, the payments
occur at the beginning of each period.
• Future value of an annuity due
It consists of two parts: the future value of one annuity payment now, and the future value of a regular
annuity of (N -1) period. Calculate the two parts and add them together. Alternatively you can use this
formula:
Note that, all else equal, the future value of an annuity due is equal to the future value of an ordinary
annuity times (1 + r)

• Present value of an annuity due
It consists of two parts: an annuity payment now and the present value of a regular annuity of (N - 1)
period. Use the above formula to calculate the second part, and add the two parts together. The process
can also be simplified to a formula:
Note that, all else equal, the present value of an annuity due is equal to the present value of an ordinary
annuity times (1 + r).
Hint: Remember these formulas - you can use them to solve annuity-related questions direct lt, or to
double-check your answers given by your calculator
A Perpetuity is a perpetual annuity: an ordinary annuity that extends indefinitely. In another word, it is an
infinite set of sequential cash flows that have the same value, with the first cash flow occurring one period
from now.
This equation is valid for a perpetuity with level payments, positive interest rate r. The first payment occurs
one period from now (like a regular annuity). An example of perpetuity is a stock paying constant paying
constant dividends.

Example - Future value of a regular annuity
An analyst decides to set aside $10,000 per year in a conservative portfolio projected to earn 8% per
annum. If the first payment he makes is one year from now, calculate the accumulated amount at the end of
10 years.
Method 1: Using a formula
• Identify the given variables: A = 10,000, r = 0.08, N = 10.
• Identify the appropriate formula: FV = A x {[(1 + r)N - 1] / r}
• Solve for the unknown: FV = 10,000 {[(1 + 0.08)10 - 1] / 0.08} = $144,865.

5. The Future Value and Present Value of a Series of Uneven Cash Flows.
Series of uneven cash flows: the cash flow stream is uneven over many time periods. There is no single
formula available to compute the present or future value of a series of uneven cash flows.
Present value
• When we have unequal cash flows, we must first find the present value of each individual cash flow
and then sum the respective present values. (Usually with the help of a spreadsheet)
Future value
• Once we know the present value of the cash flows, we can easily apply time-value equivalence by
using the formula to calculate the future value of a single sum of money

6. The Cash Flow Additivity Principle.
The additivity principle Dollar amounts indexed at the same point in time are additive.
Suppose we are considering two series of cash flows (A and B). The annual interest rate is 5%. We want to
know the future value of combined cash flows at t = 3.
We can calculate the future value of each series and add them up. The future value of series A is 100 x
1.052+ 100 x 1.05 + 100 = 315.25, and the future value of series B is 150 x 1.052 + 150 x 1.05 + 150 =
472.875. The future value of A + B is 788.125.
Alternatively, we can add the cash flows of each series first, and then find the future value of the combined
cash flows: 250 x 1.052 + 250 x 1.05 + 250 = 315.25 = 788.125.

We can use this principle to solve many uneven cash flow problems if we add dollars indexed at the same
point in time. Consider a cash flow series, A, with $100 indexed at t = 1, 2, 3 and 5, and $0 at t = 4. This
series is an almost-even cash flow, flawed only by the missing $100 at t = 4. How do we find the present
value of this series?
• We can create an annuity B with $100 indexed at t = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It's easy to find the present at t 1,
2, 3, 4, 5. It s easy to find the present value of this series.
• Then we isolate an easily evaluated cash flow B - A: it has a single cash flow of $100 at t = 4. It's
also easy to find the present value of this single cash flow.
• We then subtract the present value of B – A from the present value of B.
