All rights reserved. 4-4 Question Would it be better for a company to invest $100,000 in a product that would return a total of $200,000 after one year, or one that would return $220,000 after two years? The Role of Time Value in Finance Most financial decisions involve costs & benefits that are spread out over time. Time value of money allows comparison of cash flows from different periods.

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4-5 Answer It depends on the interest rate! The Role of Time Value in Finance (cont.) Most financial decisions involve costs & benefits that are spread out over time. Time value of money allows comparison of cash flows from different periods.

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 4-6 Basic Concepts Future Value: compounding or growth over time Present Value: discounting to today’s value Single cash flows & series of cash flows can be considered Time lines are used to illustrate these relationships

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Advantages Electronic Spreadsheets Spreadsheets go far beyond the computational abilities of calculators. Spreadsheets have the ability to program logical decisions. Spreadsheets display not only the calculated values of solutions but also the input conditions on which solutions are based. Spreadsheets encourage teamwork. Spreadsheets enhance learning. Spreadsheets communicate as well as calculate.

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Basic Patterns of Cash Flow The cash inflows and outflows of a firm can be described by its general pattern. The three basic patterns include a single amount, an annuity, or a mixed stream:

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Simple Interest With simple interest, you don’t earn interest on interest. Year 1: 5% of $100=$5 + $100 = $105 Year 2: 5% of $100=$5 + $105 = $110 Year 3: 5% of $100=$5 + $110 = $115 Year 4: 5% of $100=$5 + $115 = $120 Year 5: 5% of $100=$5 + $120 = $125

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Compound Interest With compound interest, a depositor earns interest on interest! Year 1: 5% of $100.00= $ $100.00= $ Year 2: 5% of $105.00= $ $105.00= $ Year 3: 5% of $ = $5.51+ $110.25= $ Year 4: 5% of $115.76= $ $115.76= $ Year 5: 5% of $121.55= $ $121.55= $127.63

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Time Value Terms PV 0 =present value or beginning amount i= interest rate FV n =future value at end of “n” periods n=number of compounding periods A=an annuity (series of equal payments or receipts)

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Four Basic Models FV n = PV 0 (1+i) n = PV x (FVIF i,n ) PV 0 = FV n [1/(1+i) n ] = FV x (PVIF i,n ) FVA n = A (1+i) n - 1= A x (FVIFA i,n ) i PVA 0 = A 1 - [1/(1+i) n ] = A x (PVIFA i,n ) i

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Future Value of a Single Amount Future Value techniques typically measure cash flows at the end of a project’s life. Future value is cash you will receive at a given future date. The future value technique uses compounding to find the future value of each cash flow at the end of an investment’s life and then sums these values to find the investment’s future value. We speak of compound interest to indicate that the amount of interest earned on a given deposit has become part of the principal at the end of the period.

All rights reserved FV 5 = $800 X ( ) 5 = $800 X (1.338) = $1, Future Value of a Single Amount: The Equation for Future Value Jane Farber places $800 in a savings account paying 6% interest compounded annually. She wants to know how much money will be in the account at the end of five years.

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Future Value of a Single Amount: A Graphical View of Future Value

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Present Value of a Single Amount Present value is the current dollar value of a future amount of money. It is based on the idea that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. It is the amount today that must be invested at a given rate to reach a future amount. Calculating present value is also known as discounting. The discount rate is often also referred to as the opportunity cost, the discount rate, the required return, or the cost of capital.

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Annuities Annuities are equally-spaced cash flows of equal size. Annuities can be either inflows or outflows. An ordinary (deferred) annuity has cash flows that occur at the end of each period. An annuity due has cash flows that occur at the beginning of each period. An annuity due will always be greater than an otherwise equivalent ordinary annuity because interest will compound for an additional period.

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Types of Annuities Note that the amount of both annuities total $5,000. Fran Abrams is choosing which of two annuities to receive. Both are 5-year $1,000 annuities; annuity A is an ordinary annuity, and annuity B is an annuity due. Fran has listed the cash flows for both annuities as shown in Table 4.1 on the following slide.

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity (cont.) Fran Abrams wishes to determine how much money she will have at the end of 5 years if he chooses annuity A, the ordinary annuity and it earns 7% annually. Annuity a is depicted graphically below:

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity: Using the FVIFA Tables FVA = $1,000 (FVIFA,7%,5) = $1,000 (5.751) = $5,751

All rights reserved FVA = $1,000(FVIFA,7%,5)(1+.07) = $1,000 (5.751) (1.07) = $6,154 Future Value of an Annuity Due: Using the FVIFA Tables Fran Abrams now wishes to calculate the future value of an annuity due for annuity B in Table 4.1. Recall that annuity B was a 5 period annuity with the first annuity beginning immediately.

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity Braden Company, a small producer of plastic toys, wants to determine the most it should pay to purchase a particular annuity. The annuity consists of cash flows of $700 at the end of each year for 5 years. The required return is 8%.

With a perpetuity, the periodic annuity or cash flow stream continues forever. For example, how much would I have to deposit today in order to withdraw $1,000 each year forever if I can earn 8% on my deposit?

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Compounding Interest More Frequently Than Annually Compounding more frequently than once a year results in a higher effective interest rate because you are earning on interest on interest more frequently. As a result, the effective interest rate is greater than the nominal (annual) interest rate. Furthermore, the effective rate of interest will increase the more frequently interest is compounded.

Copyright © 2006 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Compounding Interest More Frequently Than Annually (cont.) Fred Moreno has found an institution that will pay him 8% annual interest, compounded quarterly. If he leaves the money in the account for 24 months (2 years), he will be paid 2% interest compounded over eight periods.
