The Time Value of a FinancialCalculator

(cont’d)

-^ Step 1 -- input the values of the knownvariables. •^ Step 2 -- calculate the value of the remainingunknown variable. •^ Note: be sure to set your calculator to “end ofyear” and “one payment per year” modesunless otherwise directed.

Tables Versus Calculator • REMEMBER -- Thetables have adiscrepancy due torounding error;therefore, thecalculator is moreaccurate.

The Power of Time inCompounding Over 35 Years $200,000$150,000$100,000$50,000 $0^ Selma^ Patty

-^ Selma contributed$2,000 per year inyears 1 – 10, or 10years. •^ Patty contributed$2,000 per year inyears 11 – 35, or 25years. •^ Both earned 8%average annualreturn. Docsity.com

The Importance of the InterestRate in Compounding • From 1926-1998 the compound growth rate ofstocks was approximately 11.2%, whereaslong-term corporate bonds only returned5.8%. • The “Daily Double” -- states that you areearning a 100% return compounded on a dailybasis.

Present Value Equation • PV = FV(PVIF)n^ i,n – PV = the present value, in today’s dollars, of a sum ofmoney – FV= the future value of the investment at the end of nn years – PVIF= the present value interest factori,n^ • This equation is used to determine today’s value ofsome future sum of money.

Calculating Present Value for the“Prodigal Son”

If promised $500,000 in 40years, assuming 6% interest,what is the value today?PV = FV(PVIF,)n^ in PV = $500,000 (PVIF6%, 40 yr

) PV = $500,000 (.097)PV = $48,

  • Compound Annuities • Definition -- depositing an equal sum of money atthe end of each time period for a certain number ofperiods and allowing the money to grow • Example -- saving $50 a month to buy a new stereotwo years in the future – By allowing the money to gain interest and compoundinterest, the first $50, at the end of two years is worth $50^2 (1 + 0.08)= $58.

Future Value of an AnnuityEquation • FV= PMT (FVIFA)n i,n – FV= the future value, in today’s dollars, of a sumn^ of money – PMT = the payment made at the end of each timeperiod – FVIFA= the future-value interest factor for ani,n^ annuity
