DISCUSSION:
Finding the Present Value (Discounting at Simple Interest Rate)
Present Value – means current value of specified future amount. It is the value now of a sum of
money expected to be received in the future, calculated by subtracting the interest and other
value that will accrue in the intervening period.
F
Formula: Since F = P ( 1 + rt), therefore P =
(1 + rt )

In Algebra this can be written also as P = F ( 1 + rt)-1

Example 1: If money is worth 6%, find the present value on P35,000


due in 3 years.

Solution: F = P35,000 r = 6% t=3

P = F ( 1 + rt)-1
P = P35,000( 1 + .06 * 3 )-1
P = P29,661.02

Example 2: Discount P15,000 for 8 months at 6% simple interest

8
Solution: F = P15,000 r = 6% t=
12
P = F ( 1 + rt)-1
8 -1
P = P15,000( 1 + .06 * )
12
P = P14,423.08
Example 3: What principal will amount to P35,000 in 2 years if the interest rate is 6%
Solution: F = P35,000 r = 6% t=2

P = F ( 1 + rt)-1
P = P35,000( 1 + .06 * 2 )-1
P = P31,250.00
