Appendix C:
Time value of money: value of money is greater today than the value of the same amount
in the future
Simple interest: interest you can invest on the initial investment only

Compound interest: interest you can earn on the initial investment and on previous
interest
Yield increasingly larger amounts interest earnings for each period
Future value: how much an amount today will grow to be in the future

Value tables: multiply investment amount by the table value of interest (for desired
rate and number of periods)
The more frequent the rate of compounding, the more interest we earn on previous
interest = higher FV
Present value: how much an amount in the future is worth today.
Discount rate: rate at which we would be willing to give up current dollars for future
dollars

Table: PV = FV x PV factor
Annuity: cash payments of equal amounts over time periods of equal length
Includes car loans, house loans, rent.
Consists of multiple payments and annuity means that the interest grows in a yearly
manner
FVA= annuity payment x (period & interest factor from table)
Sum of the future values of a series of cash payments
PVA = annuity payment x period-interest factor
Calculate the present value of each future amount and add them together to
determine the present value of an annuity
