nrPS 1

Suppose that $500 amounted to $588.38 in a savings account after three years. If interest was compounded semiannually, find the nominal rate of interest compounded semiannually, that was earned by the money.


Solution:There are 2 × 3 = 6 interest periods.

The semiannual rate was 2.75%, so the nominal rate was 5.5 % compounded semiannually.

Exercises 1. Southern Pacific Bank recently offered a 1-year

CD that paid 6.8% compounded daily and Washington Savings Bank offered one that paid 6.85% compounded quarterly. Find the APY (expressed as a percentage, correct to three decimal places) for each CD. Which has the higher return ?

2. A savings and loan wants to offer a CD with a monthly compounding rate that has an effective rate of 7.5%. What annual nominal rate compounded monthly should they use ?


The Time Value of Money

Money NOW

is worth more than

money LATER!


To simplify this material as much as possible, you should understand that there are only a few basic types of problems, though each has several variations.• Future value or present value

• Future value of an annuity

• Present value of an annuity


A sum of money today is called a present value.

• We designate it mathematically with a subscript, as occurring in time period 0

• For example: P0 = 1,000 refers to $1,000 today


A sum of money at a future time is termed a future value

• We designate it mathematically with a subscript showing that it occurs in time period n.

• For example: Sn = 2,000 refers to $2,000 after n periods from now.


As already noted, the number of time periods in a time value problem is designated by n.

• n may be a number of years

• n may be a number of months

• n may be a number of quarters

• n may be a number of any defined time periods


The interest rate or growth rate in a time value problem is designated by i• i must be expressed as the interest rate per

period.

• For example if n is a number of years, i must be the interest rate per year.

• If n is a number of months, i must be the interest rate per month.

Present Value of an Annuity

• The present value of an annuity (P) is the sum of the present values of all the payments.

The first of the general type of time value problems is called future value and present value problems. The formula for these problems is:• Sn = P0(1+i)n


An example problem:

• If you invest $1,000 today at an interest rate of 10 percent, how much will it grow to be after 5 years?

• Sn = P0(1+i)n

• Sn = 1,000(1.10)5

• Sn = $1,610.51


Another example problem:• Assume you will receive an inheritance of

$100,000, six years from now. How much could you borrow from a bank today and spend now, such that the inheritance money will be exactly enough to pay off the loan plus interest when it is received? Assume the bank charges an interest rate of 12 percent?

• How long will it take for $10,000 to grow to $20,000 at an interest rate of 15% per year?


One more example problem:

• If you invest $11,000 in a mutual fund today, and it grows to be $50,000 after 8 years, what compounded, annualized rate of return did you earn?


The next two general types of time value problems involve

annuities

• An annuity is an amount of money that occurs (received or paid) in equal amounts at equally spaced time intervals.

• These occur so frequently in business that special calculation methods are generally used.


For example:

• If you make payments of $2,000 per year into a retirement fund, it is an annuity.

• If you receive pension checks of $1,500 per month, it is an annuity.

• If an investment provides you with a return of $20,000 per year, it is an annuity.


A common mathematical symbol for an annuity amount is PMT

• A financial calculator usually has a key labeled PMT

• Time value tables for future value of annuities and for present value of annuities can also be used to simplify calculations.

• OR, the following formulas can be used:


For the future value of an annuity:

• FV = PMT[(1+i)n - 1]/i



Example 9 – Amount of Annuity

Amount /Future Value of an Annuity

• The amount S of ordinary annuity of R for n periods at r per period is

Find S consisting of payments of $50 at the end of every 3 months for 3 years at 6% compounded quarterly.

Solution: For R=50, n=4(3)=12, r=0.06/4=0.015,

Exercises

1. Suppose you decide to deposit $100 every 6 months into an account that pays 6% compounded semiannually. If you make six deposits, one at the end of each interest payment period, over 3 years, how much money will be in the account after the last deposit is made ?

2. How much should you deposit in an account paying 6% compounded semiannually in order to be able to withdraw $1,000 every 6 months for the next 3 years ?


3. If you want to save $500,000 for retirement after 30 years, and you earn 10 percent per annum, how much must you save each year ?

4. If you save $50 per month at 12 percent per annum, how much will you have at the end of 20 years ?
