Time Value of Money and Rates of Returns
- Time value of money and rates of return are crucial financial management tools
- Key components include present value, future amounts, annual rate of return, internal rate of return, and cost of capital (opportunity cost)
- Modules will cover these tools and their applications
- Future value calculation example: Investing $2,000 at 8% annual compound interest for 5 years results in a balance of $2,938.66
- Formula for Future Value (FV): FV = PV x (1+i)N where PV is present value, i is interest rate, and N is number of periods
- Present value concept reverses the future value calculation.
- Present Value (PV) calculation example using financial calculators, and formulas
- Inflation and interest rates influence present values over time
- Money today has more purchasing power than later due to inflation
- Important to consider time value of money when making investment or financial decisions
- Net Present Value (NPV) is used in investment decision-making
- NPV decision summary: Managers accept projects with a positive NPV
- NPV is calculated by subtracting initial investment from the present value of future cash flows.
- A project can be rejected if its NPV is zero or negative, and accepted if NPV is positive
- Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is a key metric for evaluating investment return
- IRR calculation means finding the interest rate that makes the present value of future cash flows equal the initial investment
- IRR and future cash flow reinvestment
- Different between annual rate of return vs IRR on an investment
- Different applications of present value and future value.
