APPENDIX F
TIME VALUE OF MONEY

CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Compute interest and future values. Simple interest is computed on the principal only, while
compound interest is computed on the principal and any interest earned that has not been
withdrawn.
To solve for future value of a single amount, prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify the
principal amount, the number of compounding periods, and the interest rate. Using the future
value of 1 table, multiply the principal amount by the future value factor specified at the
intersection of the number of periods and the interest rate.
To solve for future value of an annuity, prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify the
amount of the periodic payments (receipts), the number of payments, and the interest rate. Using
the future value of an annuity of 1 table, multiply the amount of the payments by the future value
factor specified at the intersection of the number of periods and the interest rate.
2. Compute present values. The following three variables are fundamental to solving present
value problems: (1) the future amount, (2) the number of periods, and (3) the interest rate (the
discount rate).
To solve for present value of a single amount, prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify
the future amount, the number of discounting periods, and the discount (interest) rate. Using the
present value of a single amount table, multiply the future amount by the present value factor
specified at the intersection of the number of periods and the discount rate.
To solve for present value of an annuity, prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify the
amount of future periodic receipts or payment (annuities), the number of discounting periods,
and the discount (interest) rate. Using the present value of an annuity of 1 table, multiply the
amount of the annuity by the present value factor specified at the intersection of the number of
periods and the interest rate.
To compute the present value of notes and bonds, determine the present value of the principal
amount: Multiply the principal amount (a single future amount) by the present value factor (from
the present value of 1 table) intersecting at the number of periods (number of interest payments)
and the discount rate. To determine the present value of the series of interest payments: Multiply
the amount of the interest payment by the present value factor (from the present value of an
annuity of 1 table) intersecting at the number of periods (number of interest payments) and the
discount rate. Add the present value of the principal amount to the present value of the interest
payments to arrive at the present value of the note or bond.
3. Compute the present value in capital budgeting situations. Compute the present values of
all cash inflows and all cash outflows related to the capital budgeting proposal (an investment-
type decision). If the net present value is positive, accept the proposal (make the investment). If
the net present value is negative, reject the proposal (do not make the investment).

4. Use technological tools to solve time value of money problems. Technological tools, such
as financial calculators and Excel, can be used to solve the same and additional problems as
those solved with time value of money tables. When using a financial calculator, you will enter
into the financial calculator the amounts for all of the known elements of a time value of money
problem (periods, interest rate, payments, future or present value), and it solves for the unknown
element. Particularly useful situations involve interest rates and compounding periods not
presented in the tables. When using Excel, each function will require some combination of the
following inputs: Rate, Nper, Pmt, PV or FV, and Type. The advantage of Excel is that it allows
users to quickly modify inputs to understand how changes in inputs such as the interest rate
might impact the present value.
