TIME VALUE OF
MONEY
capacity. This core principle of finance holds that, provided money can earn
interest, any amount of money is worth more the sooner it is received. TVM is
also referred to as present discounted value
some standard calculations based on the time value of money are:
rate is the key to valuing future cash flows properly, whether they be earnings
or obligations
an ordinary annuity while they occur at the beginning of each period for an
annuity due.
Present value of a perpetuity is an infinite and constant stream of identical
cash flows.
There are several basic equations that represent the equalities listed above.
The solutions may be found using (in most cases) the formulas, a financial
calculator or aspreadsheet. The formulas are programmed into most financial
calculators and several spreadsheet functions (such as PV, FV, RATE, NPER,
and PMT).
Formula
The following formula use these common variables:

11
The present value (PV) formula has four variables, each of which can be
solved for:
The cumulative present value of future cash flows can be calculated by
summing the contributions of FVt, the value of cash flow at time t

Note that this series can be summed for a given value of n, or when n is
his is a very general formula, which leads to several important special
cases given below.

where the interest rate and time are specified.

CASE APPLICATION :
1. Calculate wthat the $3,000-per-year-deficit, had it been invested, would have
amounted to at the end of the 15-year period.
A=P(1+r)1
24
A=$3,000(1+.07)
A=$8277.0946221459 or $8277.09
2. Explain to George what compounding is and how it affected the cumulative
amount received in question1.

3. Calculate the return on the proposed $20,000 investment and indicate the
factors entering into your recommendation to accept or reject it.

4. Indicate the expected return on the annuity and whether it should be accepted
or rejected.

5. Construct an explanation of the time value of money for the financial plan
using your answers to question 1 through 4 in his part of the financial plan to
help you communicate the time value information to George and Laura.
The time value of money (TVM) is the idea that money available at the
present time is worth more than the same amount in the future due
