Time Value of Money Chapter 2

Take a Lump Sum or Annual Installments
Mr. Robert Harris and his wife Tonya won a lottery worth $276 million on February 25, 2008. The couple weighted a difficult question: whether to take $167 million now or $275 million over 26 years (0r $10.57 million a year). What basis should the couple compare these two options?

What Do We Need to Know? To make such comparisons (the lottery decision problem), we must be able to compare the value of money at different point in time. To do this, we need to develop a method for reducing a sequence of benefits and costs to a single point in time. Then, we will make our comparisons on that basis.

Interest Formulas – Single Cash Flows Equal-Payment Series
Time Value of Money The Cost of Money is established and measured by an interest rate, a percentage that is periodically applied and added to an amount of money over a specified length of time. Economic Equivalence Interest Formulas – Single Cash Flows Equal-Payment Series Dealing with Gradient Series Composite Cash Flows.

Money has a time value. Why?
Time Value of Money Money has a time value. Why? because it can earn more money over time (earning power). because its purchasing power changes over time (inflation). Time value of money is measured in terms of interest rate.

Elements of Transactions involve Interest
Initial amount of money in transactions involving debt or investments is called the principal (P). The interest rate ( i ) measures the cost or price of money and is expressed as a percentage per period of time. A period of time, called the interest period (n), determines how frequently interest is calculated. A specified length of time marks the duration of the transactions and thereby establishes a certain number of interest periods (N). A plan for receipts or disbursements (An) that yields a particular cash flow pattern over a specified length of time. [monthly equal payment] A future amount of money (F) results from the cumulative effects of the interest rate over a number of interest periods.
10
Assumptions (unless stated otherwise)
Interest rates used are the Market Interest Rate (considers the earning power of money as well as the effect of inflation perceived in the marketplace) Cash flow transactions are given in terms of Actual Dollars (effect of inflation, if any, is reflected in the amount)
11
EXAMPLE OF INTEREST TRANSACTION
Suppose that you apply for an education loan of $30,000 from a bank at a 9% annual interest rate. In addition you pay a $300 loan origination fee when the loan begins. The bank offers two repayment plans, one with equal payments made at the end of every year for the next five years (installment plan) and the other with a single payment made after the loan period of five years (deferment plan).

Methods of Calculating Interest
Simple interest: the practice of charging an interest rate only to an initial sum (principal amount). Compound interest: the practice of charging an interest rate to an initial sum and to any previously accumulated interest that has not been withdrawn. Engineering economic analysis uses the compound interest scheme exclusively, as it is most frequently practiced in real world.
17
Simple Interest (Example 2.1)
P = Principal amount i = Interest rate N = Number of interest periods Example: P = $1,000 i = 8% N = 3 years Find: F End of Year Beginning Balance Interest earned Ending Balance $1,000 1 $80 $1,080 2 $1,160 3 $1,240

Economic Equivalence
33
At Issue – How Do You Compare Two Different Money Transactions?
Consider the following two cash receipts. Which option would you prefer? $1,200 $1,000 Option 1 Option 2
34
Which Option Would You Prefer?
35
What do we mean by “economic equivalence?”
Why do we need to establish an economic equivalence? How do we establish an economic equivalence?
36
Definition - Economic Equivalence
Economic equivalence exists between cash flows that have the same economic effect and could therefore be traded for one another. Even though the amounts and timing of the cash flows may differ, an appropriate interest rate (discount rate) makes them equal.
37
Equivalence Calculation: A Simple example
Figure 2-4 Using compound interest to establish economic equivalence
38
= Practice Problem F At 8% interest, what is the equivalent worth
of $2,042 now 5 years from now? $2,042 If you deposit $2,042 today in a savings account that pays 8% interest annually, how much would you have at the end of 5 years? 1 2 3 4 5 3 F = 5
39
Solution
40
would these two payments be equivalent?
Example 2.2 Equivalence At what interest rate would these two payments be equivalent? i = ? $2,007 $1,500 5
41
i = (F / P) 1/N – 1 = (2007 / 1500 )1/5 – 1 i = 0.05999 or 6%
EXAMPLE Practice Problem Given: F = $2,007, N = 5 years, P = $1,500, Find: i $2,007 = $1,500 (1+i )5 i = (F / P) 1/N – 1 = (2007 / 1500 )1/5 – i = or 6% If i is less than 6%, you prefer the promise of $2,007 in five years to $1,500 today. If i is greater than 6%, you would prefer $1,500 now. At a lower interest rate, P must be higher in order to be equivalent to the future amount. For example, at i = 4%, P = $1,650.

The loan carries an interest rate of 6% per year and is to be repaid in equal annual installments over the next five years. Assume that the money was borrowed at the beginning of your senior year and that the first installment will be due a year later. Compute the amount of the annual installments.

Example 2.18 Suppose your retirement benefit during your first year of retirement are $50,000 Assume that this amount is just enough to meet your cost of living during the first year. However, your cost of living is expected to increase at an annual rate of 5% due to inflation Suppose you do not expect to receive any cost of living adjustment in your retirement pension. Then some of your cost of living has to come from your savings retirement pension If your saving account earns 7% interest a year, how much you should set a side in order to meet this future increase in the cost of living over 25 years

Problem 1 $2,000 $1,750 $1,500 $1,250 $1,000 How much do you have to deposit now in a savings account that earns a 12% annual interest, if you want to withdraw the annual series as shown in the figure? P =?
116
Solution:

Problem 2 Your starting salary as a mechanical engineer is expected to be $55,000. A total of 10% of your salary each year will be placed in the mutual fund of your choice. You can also count on a 5% salary increase for the next 30 years of employment. If the mutual fund will average 9% annual return over the course of your career, what can you expect at retirement?

Composite Cash Flows – Grouping Approach
126
Personal Savings Point of View
Situation 1: If you make four annual deposits of $100 in your savings account which earns 10% annual interest, what equal annual amount (A) can be withdrawn over 4 subsequent years?
127
Economic Equivalence Point of View
Situation 2: What value of A would make the two cash flow transactions equivalent if i = 10%?
128
Method 1: Select the Base Period at n = 0
129
Method 2: Select the Base Period at n = 4
130
Equivalence Calculation with Changing Interest Rates
F = ? Find the balance at the end of year 5. 6% 4% 4% 6% 5% 2 4 5 1 3 $400 $300 $500
131
Solution
132
Cash Flows with a Missing Payment
$100 i = 10% Missing payment
133
Strategy – Modify the Cash Flow Series to Have a Standard Pattern
Add this cash flow to offset the change $100 $100 Pretend that we have the 10th payment i = 10%
134
Equivalence Between Inflows and Outflows
P = ? $100 i = 10% $100
135
Unconventional Regularity in Cash Flow Pattern
$10,000 i = 10% 1 C C C C C C C Payment is made every other year
136
Approach: Modify the Interest Rate
Idea: Since the cash flows occur every other year, let's find out the equivalent compound interest rate that covers the two-year period. How: If interest is compounded 10% annually, the equivalent interest rate for two-year period is 21%. (1+0.10)(1+0.10) = 1.21
137
Solution $10,000 i = 21% 1 C C C C C C C
