Document Summary

A dollar received today is worth more than a dollar received tomorrow. The value of cash flows received at different times can never be directly compared. The economic value of a dollar depends on the time at which it is received or disbursed. The time-value concept forms the basis for valuation. Compounding: translating of current dollars (pv) into economically equivalent future dollars (fv) Discounting: translating of future dollars (fv) into economically equivalent current dollars (pv) Future value is the amount to which an investment will grow after earning interest. Simple interest: interest is earned only on the original investment. Fv = pv x (1 + t x r) Compound interest: interest is earned on the interest. Interest earned per (cid:455)ear = previous (cid:455)ear"s (cid:271)alan(cid:272)e (cid:454) interest rate. *most financial problems you will deal with will involve compound interest. Annuity: equally spaced and a level stream of cash flows (for a finite number of periods)
