The time value of money

Filed under: Finance — MaheshT @ 10:42 pm

1. The future value of a single cash flow.

For yearly compounding:
 F_{v} = P_{v}(1+r)^N

if compounding is more than once a year
F_{vn} = P_{v}( 1+ \frac{r}{m})^ {rN}

For continues compounding
Fvn = Pv epsilon^(rN)

Where r = interest rate per period.
N= Number of the compounding period.
m= Number of compounding periods per year.

Effective annual interest rate:
EAR = (1+Periodic interest rate)^m - 1

2. Future value of a series of cash flows

Annuity: It is a finite set of fixed payments over a period of time.
An ordinary annuity is an annuity whose payments are made at the end of each period (t = 1)
An annuity-due is an annuity whose payments are made at the beginning of each period. (t = 0)

Future value of annuity
Fvn = A[((1+r)^N -1) /r]

3. Present Value of Single Cash Flow

Pv = Fv[1/(1+r)^N]
which is equivalent to
Pv = Fv(1+r)^(- N)

With Frequency of compounding
Pv = Fv(1+r/m)^(- mN)

4. Present value of series of cash flows

Pv = A[ (1 - 1/(1+r)^N)/r]
which is same as
Pv = A[ (1 - (1+r)^(- N))/r]

5. Growth rate which is same as interest rate

g = (Fv/Pv)^(1/N) -1
