Simple Interest
One way that money can grow is by simple interest
Simple
interest involves earning or accruing interest on principal or original investment only Interest is not earned or accrued on prior interest earned or accrued
Simple Interest
Today is beginning of year 1 (time 0)
You
have $100 that you put in an investment that earns annual simple interest of 6 percent (.06) per year
would earn interest on the original investment of $100 You would earn interest of $100 .06 = $6.00 in year 2 You would have $106 + $6.00 = $112.00 in 2 years
would earn interest on the original investment of $100 You would earn interest of $100 .06 = $6.00 in year 3 You would have $112 + $6.00 = $118.00 in 3 years
Simple Interest
Today is beginning of year 1 (time 0)
You
have $100 that you put in an investment that earns annual simple interest of 6 percent (.06)
would earn interest on the original $100 investment You would earn interest of $100 .06 = $6.00 in year t You would have $100 + ($100.00 .06 t) = ($100.00 (1 + (.06 t)) in t years
Value Value Value 100 100 100 100.00 + (100.06) 106.00 + (100.06) 112.00 + (100.06) (value as of t-1) + (100.06) 100 + (100.06t) 100 + (100.061) 100 + (100.062) 100 + (100.063) 112.00 118.00 106.00 100 + (100.06t)
Time
Simple Interest
In general, if you earn simple interest, then C0 today will grow to be worth the following in t periods: C0 + (C0 simple interest rate per period t) = C0 (1 + (simple interest rate per period t)) = original amount + (interest in dollars per period number of periods) These equations would only be used if it is explicitly noted that interest is simple interest
Value Value Time C0 C0 0 C0 + (C0 r 1) C0 + (C0 r 2) C0 + (C0 r 3) C0 + (C0 r t) C0 (1 + (r 1)) C0 (1 + (r 2)) C0 (1 + (r 3)) C0 (1 + (r t)) 1 2
Compound Interest
The much more common way that money can grow is by compound interest
Compound
interest involves earning or accruing interest on both principal or original investment and on all prior interest earned or accrued
Compound Interest
Today is beginning of year 1 (time 0)
You
have $100 that you put in an investment that earns annual compound interest of 6 percent (.06) per year
would earn interest on the original investment of $100 plus all accrued interest, which would be the $6.00 from year 1 You would earn interest of $106 .06 = $6.36 in year 2 You would have $106 + $6.36 = $112.36 in 2 years
would earn interest on the original investment of $100 plus all accrued interest, which would be $12.36 from the $6.00 from year 1 and the $6.36 from year 2 You would earn interest of $112.36 .06 = $6.74 in year 3 You would have $112.36 + $6.74 = $119.10 in 3 years

The basic idea is that all variables in a time value of money relationship are entered into the calculator except for one The calculator computes the value of the excluded variable such that a basic relationship is maintained
The
basic relationship involves some money going out and some money coming in and the calculator wants to make their values equal

At the start of the relevant time frame being analyzed, the value of an investment or asset is typically entered or produced as a negative number
We can think of a negative cash flow being required to obtain the investment or asset at the start of the relevant time PV = the opposite of the value of an asset, security, investment, etc.
All
At the end of the relevant time frame being analyzed, the value of an investment or asset is typically entered or produced as a positive number
We can think of a positive cash flow being generated from selling the investment or asset at the end of the relevant time FV = the value of an asset, security, investment, etc.

cash flows are associated with higher interest rates and expected returns, as investors demand and receive a greater reward for bearing more risk Less risky cash flows are associated with lower interest rates and expected returns, as investors accept and receive a smaller reward for bearing less risk In FNAN 301, when risk is associated with expected return or interest rates, risk refers to the risk that matters which is a concept covered later in the course
flat yield curve means that the rate (interest rate, expected return, etc.) associated with any set of cash flows depends only on the risk of those cash flows The timing of a set of cash flows does not influence the relevant expected return if the yield curve is flat
Note: in a more complex (and realistic world), timing may matter and the relevant relationship would be between an assets level of risk and that assets risk premium (which we will learn about later in the course)
two investments or assets have the same amount of risk, but different expected returns, everyone would want the one with the higher expected return and no one would want the one with the lower expected return Equilibrium exists when both have the same expected return In FNAN 301, we will assume that markets for financial securities, investments, etc. are wellfunctioning

Timelines
A good first step to solving any time value of money (TVM) problem is to construct a timeline
Timelines
Timeline basics
Time
0 is the reference point, often but not necessarily today Time 1 is in 1 period after the reference point Time t is in t periods after the reference point Period 1 is between time 0 and time 1 and ends at time 1 Period t is between time t-1 and time t and ends at time t C0 is the cash flow at time 0 Ct is the cash flow at time t This notation is used to indicate the passage of time:
Cash flow Time C0 0 C1 1 C2 2 C3 3 C4 4 C5 5 Ct-1 t-1 Ct t
Period 1
Period t
Timelines
The key element to constructing a timeline is determining how long a period is
The
Timelines
The length of a period is the smallest period among the following
The
timing of expected cash flows The compounding period (if given) for a rate The period for a given rate
In many cases, the length of a period is obvious as cash flows, rates, and compounding (if any is given) match each other and the steps described on the next slides are not needed In some cases, the length of a period is less clear and the steps on the next slides are very useful
Timelines
Timeline construction and use in 4 steps
Step
1: identify the direction, magnitude, and timing of known cash flows and the timing of any unknown cash flows Step 2: identify the length of each period Step 3: obtain the relevant rate or return, which is the one that is relevant for a length of time equal to a period Step 4: identify what is known and what is not known so that the value of any variables that are not known can be found
Timelines
Step 1: identify the direction, magnitude, and timing of known cash flows and the timing of any unknown cash flows
The
Cash inflows, which involve cash being received, are expressed as positive amounts
Cash outflows, which involve cash being paid out, are expressed as negative amounts
The
magnitude of a known cash flow involves how much cash is either paid or received The timing of a known or unknown cash flow involves when a cash flow takes place, typically with respect to the reference point
Timelines
Step 2: identify the length of each period
The
length of each period refers to the length of time that corresponds to each notch on the timeline
Common periods of time are a day, month, quarter, semiannual period, and year
This
Timelines
Step 2: identify the length of each period
2A:
identify the largest period of time, up to a year, that can be used to express the timing of cash flows such that all cash flows can be expressed as taking place at time 0 or as a whole number of periods after time 0
If all timing can be expressed as a whole number of years, then the period from this step is a year If all timing can not be expressed as a whole number of years, then see if the period from this step is a half year If all timing can be expressed as a whole number of half years, then the period from this step is a half year If all timing can not be expressed as a whole number of half years, then see if the period from this step is a quarter If all timing can be expressed as a whole number of quarters, then the period from this step is a quarter If all timing can not be expressed as a whole number of quarters, then see if the period from this step is a month If all timing can be expressed as a whole number of months, then the period from this step is a month If all timing can not be expressed as a whole number of months, then the period from this step is a day
Timelines
Step 2: identify the length of each period
2B:
if given and not continuous, note the period of time over which the rate is compounded
Rates include interest rates, discount rates, and rates of return
For
now, the compounding period will not be needed and will not be given, so this step is not relevant, but later in course, we will learn about compounding and compounding periods, so this step will become relevant
Timelines
Step 2: identify the length of each period
2C:
Examples: a monthly interest rate of 1.1% reflects a rate for a month and a quarterly return of 2.4% reflects a rate for a quarter
If
a rate is given and an associated period is not explicitly given, then assume that the rate is an annual rate
Timelines
Step 2: identify the length of each period
2D:
the shortest of the periods identified in steps 2A, 2B, and 2C is the length that each period on the timeline should reflect
As noted, the timing of cash flows and timing associated with rates will often match, which makes creating a timeline relatively easy
Timelines Example
Create a timeline for the following question: how much will you have in 1 year if you invest $900 today at an interest rate of 12% per year?
Step
Cash flow today = $900 = value of investment after it is made Value of investment in 1 year = FVt Cash flow at all other times = 0
Step
2A: timing can be expressed in whole numbers of years, so the largest period from this step is a year
$900 at time 0 and unknown value in 1 year
Step
2B: no compounding period given Step 2C: interest rate of 12% reflects rate for a year Step 2D: the shortest period among a year (2A) and a year (2C) is a year, so the length of a period is 1 year
Cash flow 900 Periods from today 0
Year 1
Timelines Example
Create a timeline for the following question: how much will you have in 1 year if you invest $900 today at an interest rate of 6% per half year?
Step
Cash flow today = $900 Value of investment in 1 year = FVt Cash flow at all other times = 0
Step
2A: timing can be expressed in whole numbers of years, so the largest period from this step is a year
$900 at time 0 and unknown value in 1 year
Step
2B: no compounding period given Step 2C: interest rate of 6% reflects rate for a half year Step 2D: the shortest period among a year (2A) and a half year (2C) is a half year, so the length of a period is a half year
Cash flow 900 Periods from today 0
Half year 1 Half year 2
Timelines Example
Create a timeline for the following question: how much will you have in 1 year if you invest $900 today at an interest rate of 1% per month?
Step
Cash flow today = $900 Value of investment in 1 year = FVt Cash flow at all other times = 0
Step
2A: timing can be expressed in whole numbers of years, so the largest period from this step is a year
$900 at time 0 and unknown value in 1 year
Step
2B: no compounding period given Step 2C: interest rate of 1% reflects rate for a month Step 2D: the shortest period among a year (2A) and a month (2C) is a month, so the length of a period is a month

Timelines
Step 3: obtain the relevant rate, which is the one that is relevant for a length of time equal to a period
For
now, the relevant interest rate or return will be explicitly given, but later in course, we will learn more about how to obtain the relevant rate when it is not explicitly given
Timelines
Step 4: identify what is known and what is not known so that the values of any variables that are not known can be found
We
will be spending much of the course on step 4 for various types of problems and situations
Timelines
For many of the examples and problems in the overheads, timelines are used, but the 4 steps for timeline construction and use are not explicitly noted
Creating
timelines is often fairly straightforward as the relevant period length and rate are given in a relatively explicit way
The solutions to many of the extra problems and some of the examples and problems reviewed after compounding frequency is introduced illustrate the steps more explicitly
Once
compounding frequency is introduced, the relevant period length, and especially the relevant rate, are not always explicitly given and often require some analysis to identify and determine

indifferent between paying Ct in t years and paying an amount equal to the present value of Ct today Prefer to pay an amount today that is less in magnitude than the present value of Ct more than you would prefer to pay Ct in t years
Note that payments involve negative cash flows and that paying an amount involves a negative cash flow of that amount
When paying Ct the cash flow is -Ct < 0
Given choices, you would prefer to pay the one with the smallest magnitude, which actually has the cash flows with greatest value, since it would be the least bad
If X > Z, then X < -Z (for example, 4 > 3 and -4 < -3)

Which of the following payment options for your new computer would you prefer if the discount rate is 7.2 percent?
Option 1: $1,200 today Option 2: $1,300 in 1 year Since the choice involves paying money, cash flows would be negative, so choose the option with the cash flows with the lower magnitude present value PV (option 1) = -1,200 PV (option 2) = -1,300 / (1.072)1 = -1,212.69 -1,212.69 < -1,200, so choose option 1 N = 1; I% = 7.2; PMT = 0; FV = -1300; PMT mode is irrelevant Solve for PV and get PV = 1,212.69, so the present value of the cash flow is -$1,212.69
Note: be careful with sign convention, especially in a case like this where the appropriate sign to use with terms is not particularly clear
Choose the option with the cash flow with higher present value
Solution formula
-1,212.69 < -1,200 and magnitude of -1200 < magnitude of -1212.69, so choose option 1, because it involves a less valuable payout
higher expected cash flow leads to higher present value, all else equal (time to payment and discount rate) A lower expected cash flow leads to lower present value, all else equal (time to payment and discount rate)

PV0 PV0
cash flows are associated with higher discount rates, as investors demand greater reward for bearing more risk
Investment or asset that is expected to be worth a certain amount at a given point in time would be worth relatively little today if it is very risky
Less
risky cash flows are associated with lower discount rates, as investors demand smaller reward for less risk
Investment or asset that is expected to be worth a certain amount at a given point in time would be worth relatively more today if it is not very risky
discount rate leads to lower present value, all else equal (cash flow amount and timing), for an asset or investment with positive cash flows Lower discount rate leads to higher present value, all else equal (cash flow amount and timing), for an asset or investment with positive cash flows

PV0
investments or assets with the same level of risk and that are expected to be worth the same amount (or produce the same cash flow) at the same point in time would have the same discount rate
Otherwise, the one with the lower discount rate would be more expensive today and no one would want to buy it and the one with the higher discount rate would be less expensive today and everyone would want to buy it Equilibrium exists when both investments or assets have the same present value, which requires the same discount rate
In
FNAN 301, we will assume that markets for financial securities, investments, etc. are well-functioning
in a project, buy an asset, etc, with certain expected cash flows and some level of risk
Actual cash flows are often uncertain, so analysis is based on expected cash flows, which is a best guess
Invest
Opportunity cost of capital, also called the cost of capital, is the appropriate discount rate
= Ct/(1+r)t
= Ct/(1+r)t

Conclusion
Time value of money
$1
today is more valuable than $1 in the future $1 today will grow into more than $1 in the future $1 in the future is worth less than $1 today
Timelines are incredibly useful for solving time value of money problems, as they can help bridge the gap between a problem and how to use an equation or a financial calculator to solve that problem Future value, present value, implied rate, and the length of time can be found for situations involving a single cash flow (or value, which is a potential cash flow)
