2. Time Value of Money Answers the questions:
“If I deposit $10,000 today, how much will I have for a down payment on a house in 5 years?”
“Will $2,000 saved each year give me enough money when I retire?”
“How much must I save today to have enough for my children’s education?”
App 1-2

3. Time Value of Money Basic Principles
A dollar received today is worth more than a dollar received a year from today
A dollar that will be received in the future is worth less than a dollar today
Why?
A dollar today could be saved or invested
A dollar in the future is uncertain
App 1-3

Future value - Single amount & Annuity
Present value - Single amount & Annuity

App 1-4

5. Basic TVM Definitions Future Value (FV) Present Value (PV)
The increased value of money from interest earned
The amount to which a current sum will grow given a certain interest rate and time period
“Compounding”
Present Value (PV)
The current value of a future amount given a certain interest rate and time period
“Discounting”
App 1-5

6. Basic TVM Definitions Payment (PMT or annuity) Sign Convention:
Amount of annuity deposit or withdrawal
Sign Convention:
Applies to PV, PMT and FV
Positive = inflow to YOU
Money received as a loan is an inflow
Negative = outflow from YOU
Deposit to an account is an outflow
It’s important to point out that there are many different ways to refer to the interest rate that we use in time value of money calculations. Students often get confused with the terminology, especially since they tend to think of an “interest rate” only in terms of loans and savings accounts.
App 1-6 6

7. Basic TVM Definitions Interest rate (i or I/Y)
Stated as a percent per year
Also called “discount rate”
12% =
“0.12” in formulas & in Excel
“12” in financial calculators

App 1-7 7

8. Basic TVM Definitions Time Periods (n or t) Expressed in years
3 months = “0.25” years
2 ½ years = “2.5” years
Interest rate and time period must match
Annual periods  annual rate
Monthly periods  monthly rate
App 1-8

9. Single Amount & Annuities
A single payment made or received at one time
Calculator: PMT=0
Annuity:
Finite series of equal payments that occur at regular intervals
PMT key used
Sign convention is important

11. TVM Calculator Solutions Texas Instruments BA-II Plus
FV = future value
PV = present value
PMT = periodic payment
I/Y = interest rate
N = number of periods
One of these MUST be negative
I am providing information on the Texas Instruments BA-II Plus – other calculators are similar. If you recommend or require a specific calculator other than this one, you may want to make the appropriate changes.
Note: the more information students have to remember to enter the more likely they are to make a mistake. For this reason, I normally tell my students to set P/Y = 1 and leave it that way. Then I teach them to work on a period basis, which is consistent with using the formulas. If you want them to use the P/Y function, remind them that they will need to set it every time they work a new problem and that CLR TVM does not affect P/Y.
If students are having difficulty getting the correct answer, make sure they have done the following:
Set decimal places to floating point (2nd Format, Dec = 9 enter) or show 4 to 5 decimal places if using and HP
Double check and make sure P/Y = 1
Make sure to clear the TVM registers after finishing a problem (or before starting a problem) It is important to point out that CLR TVM clears the FV, PV, N, I/Y and PMT registers. C/CE and CLR Work DO NOT affect the TVM keys
The remaining slides will work the problems using the notation provided above for calculator keys. The formulas are presented in the notes section.

It is important at this point to discuss the sign convention in the calculator. The calculator is programmed so that cash outflows are entered as negative and inflows are entered as positive. If you enter the PV as positive, the calculator assumes that you have received a loan that you will have to repay at some point. The negative sign on the future value indicates that you would have to repay in 5 years. Show the students that if they enter the 1000 as negative, the FV will compute as a positive number.
Also, you may want to point out the change sign key on the calculator. There seem to be a few students each semester that have never had to use it before.
