Document Summary

Understanding the time value of money will help you to understand some very important business components such as the value of stocks and bonds, the value of a new project, to name a few. One of the basic tools to help you visualize the pattern of time cash flow are: Timelines this shows each step of cash flow, received and spent, to include the interest earned. The timeline is usually shown in years but can be used for any measure of time. An example of a timeline is shown below (cash inflows are positive, outflows negative, and r is interest rate) Timelines are used today by investors to help them solve complex problems. This allows them to evaluate the money needed to invest today compared to the amount of money the investment will make in the future. Compound interest is calculated by added the interest paid during the first period to the principal.
