CH 28: TIME VALUE OF MONEY

I. Basics
[1] Definitions of variables
t=
time index.
Ct =
cash flow at time t.
PMT = the periodic payment = annuity payment (same amount of cash flow).
n=
number of periods.
i=
interest rate/ discount rate/ required rate of return/ cost of capital/ opportunity cost per
period.
FV = Future value
FVA = Future value of an annuity.
PV = Present value.
PVA = Present value of an annuity.
[2] Compounding and discounting of interest
Interest can be compounded or discounted yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily, or even
continuously.
EX) Annual interest rate = 8%. Horizon = 2 years.
n
i
1) yearly compounding
8%
2 periods
2) semiannual compounding
8% / 2 = 4%
4 periods
3) quarterly compounding
8% / 4 = 2%
8 periods
4) monthly compounding
8% / 12 = (2/3)%
24 periods
5) daily compounding
8% / 365 = (8/365)%
730 periods
[3] Cash flows
Cash inflow = + value
Cash outflow = - value
(1) Single cash flow: C
(2) Different streams: Ct
(3) Ordinary annuity
(end of each period)
(4) Annuity due

A project costs $6M per year for 5 years, starting immediately. You reckon that it will produce an cash inflow after
operating costs of $4M a year for 15 years, starting 5 years from now. The opportunity cost of capital is 10 percent.

Your grandmother has asked you to evaluate two alternative investments for her. The first is a security that pays
$50 at the end of each of the next 3 years, with a final payment of $1,050 at the end of Year 4. This security
costs $900. The second investment involves simply putting the same amount of money in a bank savings account
that pays an 8 percent nominal (quoted) interest rate, but with quarterly compounding. Your grandmother regards
the two investments as being equally safe and liquid, so the required effective annual rate of return on the security
is the same as that on the bank deposit. She has asked you to calculate the value of the security to help her decide
whether it is a good investment. What is its value relative to the bank deposit?
One period = 1 quarter; i = 0.08/4 = 0.02; C4 = 50, C8 = 50, C12 = 50, C16 = 1050
PV = 50 PVIF(0.02,4) + 50 PVIF(0.02,8) + 50 PVIF(0.02,12) + 1,050 PVIF(0.02,16)

Assume that your father is now 55 years old, that he plans to retire in 12 years, and that he expects to live for 20
years after he retires, that is, until he is 87. He wants a fixed retirement income that has the same purchasing
power at the time he retires as $60,000 has today (he realizes that the real value of his retirement income will
decline year by year after he retires, but he wants level payments during retirement anyway). His retirement
income will begin the day he retires, 12 years from today, and he will receive 20 annual payments. Inflation is
expected to be 5 percent per year from today forward. He currently has $100,000 in savings, and he expects to
earn a return on his savings of 8 percent per year, annual compounding. To the nearest dollar, how much must
he save during each of the next 12 years (with deposits being made at the end of each year) to meet his retirement
goal?

b. The present value of $100 received in year 15 at a 17 percent discount rate.
c. The present value of $100 received in each of year 1 through year 20 at a 22 percent discount rate.
d. The present value of $100 received in each of year 3 through year 12 at a 13 percent discount rate.
2. A project costs $200,000 per year for 5 years, starting immediately. You reckon that it will produce an cash inflow
after operating costs of $170,000 a year for 10 years, starting 3 years from now. The opportunity cost of capital is
