The cash flows occurring at time zero (today) and at the end of each subsequent
year are above the line; the negative values represent cash outflows (₱15,000 invested
today at time zero), and the positive values represent cash inflows (₱3,000 inflow in 1 year,

The future value technique uses compounding to find the future value of each cash
flow at the end of the investment’s life and then sums these values to find the investment’s
future value. Alternatively, the present value technique uses discounting to find the present
value of each cash flow at time zero and then sums these values to find the investment’s
value today. In practice, when making investment decisions, managers usually adopt the
present value approach.
BASIC PATTERNS OF CASH FLOW
The cash flow—both inflows and outflows—of a firm can be described by its general
pattern. It can be defined as a single amount, an annuity, or a mixed stream.
Single amount: A lump-sum amount either currently held or expected at some fu-
ture date. Examples include ₱1,000 today and ₱650 to be received at the end of 10 years.
Annuity: A level periodic stream of cash flow. For our purposes, we’ll work primarily
with annual cash flows. Examples include either paying out or receiving ₱800 at the end of
each of the next 7 years.
Mixed stream: A stream of cash flow that is not an annuity; a stream of unequal
periodic cash flows that reflect no particular pattern. Examples include the following two
cash flow streams A and B.
a) SINGLE AMOUNT
i. Future Value of a Single Amount
Future value is the amount to which an amount of money will grow in a defined
period of time at a specified investment rate. A business may face questions such as:
■ Example: If we borrow ₱380,000 today to replace outdated equipment and the
terms are 8 percent for 5 years compounded quarterly, what is the total cost of the
purchase?
To determine the total cost of the equipment purchase, the calculation is
Formula: FV = PV (1 + r)n
FV = future value of the investment or loan
P= principal
r = interest rate per period of compounding
n = number of compounding periods in the length of the loan
Where:

period.

Where:
CF = 700
r = 8%
n = 5 years
Solution:
PV5 = (700÷.08) [1 – (1÷(1+.08)5 )]
PV5 = (8,750) [1 – (1÷(1+.08)5 )]
PV5 = (8,750) [1 – (1÷(1.4693)]
PV5 = (8,750) [1 – .680596]
PV5 = (8,750) [.31940]
PV5 = 2,795.00
iv. FINDING THE PRESENT VALUE OF AN ANNUITY DUE
Formula: PVn = (CF÷r) [1 – (1÷(1+r)n )] (1+r)
PV5 = (700÷.08) [1 – (1÷(1+.08)5 )] (1+.08)
PV5 = (8,750) [1 – (1÷(1+.08)5 )] (1+.08)
PV5 = (8,750) [1 – (1÷(1.4693)] (1+.08)
PV5 = (8,750) [1 – .680596] (1+.08)
PV5 = (8,750) [.31940] (1.08)
PV5 = 2,795.00 (1.08)
PV5 = 3,018.00
c) PERPETUITY
A perpetuity is an annuity with an infinite life—in other words, an annuity that never
stops providing its holder with a cash flow at the end of each year (for example, the right to
receive ₱500 at the end of each year forever).
Formula: PV = CF ÷ r
■ Example: Ross Clark wishes to endow a chair in finance at his alma mater. The
university indicated that it requires ₱200,000 per year to support the chair, and the
endowment would earn 10% per year. To determine the amount Ross must give the
university to fund the chair, we must determine the present value of a ₱200,000 perpetuity
discounted at 10%.
Where:
Page 6
CF = 200,000

r= .10
Solution:
PV = ₱200,000 ÷ 0.10 = ₱2,000,000
In other words, to generate ₱200,000 every year for an indefinite period requires
₱2,000,000 today if Ross Clark’s alma mater can earn 10% on its investments. If the
university earns 10% interest annually on the ₱2,000,000, it can withdraw ₱200,000 per
year indefinitely.
d) MIXED STREAMS
Two basic types of cash flow streams are possible, the annuity and the mixed
stream. Whereas an annuity is a pattern of equal periodic cash flows, a mixed stream is a
stream of unequal periodic cash flows that reflect no particular pattern. Financial managers
frequently need to evaluate opportunities that are expected to provide mixed streams of
cash flows.
i. FUTURE VALUE OF A MIXED STREAM
The future value of uneven cash flows is the sum of future values of each cash flow.
It can also be called “terminal value.” Unlike annuities where the amount of payment is
constant, many financial instruments and assets generate cash flows that can vary from
period to period. For example, dividends on common stock and coupon payments of a
floating rate bond can vary. Cash flow generated by business activity is another common
example of uneven or irregular cash flows.
Formula: FV = CF1(1+r)N-1 + CF2(1+r)N-2 + ….
N = number of periods
CF = cash flow at period t
r = interest rate per period

■ Example
Cash Flow
1 ₱ 1,000
2 ₱ 800
3 ₱ 1,100
4 ₱ 700
5 ₱ 1,050
Where:
r = 12%
N = 5 years
Solution:
FVCF1 = ₱1,000 (1+0.12)(5-1) = ₱1,573.52
FVCF2 = ₱800 (1+0.12)(5-2) = ₱1,123.94
FVCF3 = ₱1,100 (1+0.12)(5-3) = ₱1,379.84
FVCF4 = ₱700 (1+0.12)(5-4) = ₱784.00
FVCF5 = ₱1,050 (1+0.12)(5-5) = ₱1,050.00
(remember anything to the power of zero is 1)
Thus, the total future value of the uneven cash flow stream is ₱5,911.30.
■ Example
Cash Flow
1 ₱ 1,500
2 ₱ 1,850
3 ₱ 2,100
4 ₱ 2,500
5 ₱ 2,950
Where:
r = 15.75%
N = 5 years
Solution:
PV = CFN÷ (1+r)N
PV = 1,500÷ (1+0.1575)1 = 1,295.90
PV = 1,850÷ (1+0.1575)2 = 1,380.80 1.33980625
PV = 2,100÷ (1+0.1575)3 = 1,354.12
PV = 2,500÷ (1+0.1575)4 = 1,392.69
PV = 2,950÷ (1+0.1575)5 = 1,419.77
Thus, the present value of the uneven cash flow stream will be ₱6,843.27.
