Why TIME?
Why is TIME such an important element in your decision? TIME allows you the opportunity to postpone consumption and earn INTEREST.
The time preference for money is generally expressed by an interest rate. This rate will be positive even in the absence of any risk. It may be therefore called the risk-free rate. An investor requires compensation for assuming risk, which is called risk premium. The investors required rate of return is: Risk-free rate + Risk premium
Time Value of Money, or TVM, is a concept that is used in all aspects of finance including:
Bond valuation Stock valuation Accept/reject decisions for project management Financial analysis of firms And many others!
Formulas
Common formulas that are used in TVM calculations:* Present value of a lump sum: PV = CFn / (1+i)n OR PV = FV / (1+i)n = PV (PVIFi,n( Future value of a lump sum: FV = CF0 * (1+i)n OR FV = PV * (1+i)n = FV (FVIFi,n( Present value of a cash flow stream:
n
PV = S [CFt / (1+i)t]
t=0
Formulas (continued)
Present value of an annuity: PVA = A * {[(1+i)n - 1]/ [i (1+i)n]} = A ( PVIFAi,n) Future value of an annuity: FVA = A * {[(1+i)n - 1]/i} = A ( FVIFAi,n)
Annuity for the present value Loan Amortization or capital recovery A = PVA / {[(1+i)n - 1]/ [i (1+i)n]} Annuity for the future value Sinking Fund A = FVA / {[(1+i)n - 1]/i}
Variables
where
i = rate of return t = time period n = number of time periods A = Annuity CF = Cash flow (the subscripts t and 0 mean at time t and at time zero, respectively) PV = present value (PVA = present value of an annuity) FV = future value (FVA = future value of an annuity)
Basic Rules
The following are simple rules that you should always use no matter what type of TVM problem you are trying to solve: 1. Stop and think: Make sure you understand what the problem is asking. You will get the wrong answer if you are answering the wrong question. 2. Draw a representative timeline and label the cash flows and time periods appropriately. 3. Write out the complete formula using symbols first and then substitute the actual numbers to solve. 4. Check your answers using a calculator. While these may seem like trivial and time consuming tasks, they will significantly increase your understanding of the material and your accuracy rate.
Types of Interest
Simple Interest
Interest paid (earned) on only the original amount, or principal, borrowed (lent).
Compound
Interest
Interest paid (earned) on any previous interest earned, as well as on the principal borrowed (lent).
SI = P0(i)(n)
Simple Interest Deposit today (t=0) Interest Rate per Period Number of Time Periods
Assume that you deposit Rs.1,000 in an account earning 7% simple interest for 2 years. What is the accumulated interest at the end of the 2nd year?
SI
FV = P0 + SI = Rs.1,000 + Rs.140 = Rs.1,140 Future Value is the value at some future time of a present amount of money, or a series of payments, evaluated at a given interest rate.
The Present Value is simply the Rs.1,000 you originally deposited. That is the value today! Present Value is the current value of a future amount of money, or a series of payments, evaluated at a given interest rate.
Compound Interest You earned Rs.70 interest on your Rs.1,000 deposit over the first year. This is the same amount of interest you would earn under simple interest.

Types of Annuities
An Annuity represents a series of equal payments (or receipts) occurring over a specified number of equidistant periods.
Ordinary Annuity: Payments or receipts occur at the end of each period. Annuity Due: Payments or receipts occur at the beginning of each period.

If you deposit Rs.50,000 today in a financial institute at the rate of 8 per cent in how many (roughly) years will this double using rule 72 and rule 69.
Your 69-year old aunt has savings of Rs.35,000. She has made arrangements to enter a home for the aged on reaching the age of 80. Your aunt wants to decrease her savings by a constant amount each year for ten years, with a zero balance remaining. How much can she withdraw each year if she earns 6% annually on her savings? Her first withdrawal would be one year from today.

Someone you know is about to retire. His firm has given him the option of retiring with a lump sum of Rs.20,000 or an annuity of Rs.2,500 for ten years. Which is worth more now, if an interest rate of 7% is utilized for the annuity? Do not consider taxes.
You are considering the purchase of a Rs.50,000 machine, which is expected to generate Rs.11,511.19 annually for 8 years. What is the expected return on the investment?
A machine costs Rs.50,000 and is expected to yield a 16% annual rate of return on your investment, for 8 years. What is the annual income from the machine? Your banker tells you that a Rs.85,000 loan, for 30 years, has an annual payment of Rs.8,273.59. What must be the interest rate on the loan?
