Study Notes

Principles of Managerial Finance - Chapter 4: Time Value of Money

  • Learning Objectives: Understand the Valuation Principle and its application in identifying decisions that increase firm value. Assess the impact of interest rates on future cash flows' present value. Determine future value, present value, present value of an annuity, and future value of an annuity.
  • The Valuation Principle: Decisions that increase the value of the firm are desirable.
  • Time Value of Money (TVM): Money available today is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity.
  • Uses of TVM: Bond valuation, stock valuation, project acceptance/rejection decisions, and financial analysis of firms.
  • Interest Rates: Rates charged or received for the use of money, often expressed as an annual percentage of the principal.
    • Nominal interest rate: Unadjusted for inflation.
    • Real interest rate: Adjusted for inflation. Interest rate on a loan or investment depends on the principal, the rate, compounding frequency, and the investment timeframe.
  • Simple Interest: Interest earned only on the initial principal amount.
    • Formula: I = P * i * t (Interest = Principal * Interest Rate * Time)
  • Compound Interest: Interest earned on both the principal and any accumulated interest from previous periods.
    • Formula: FV = PV * (1 + i)n (Future Value = Present Value * (1 + Interest Rate)Number of Periods)
  • TVM Calculations: Calculations involving future value, present value, and present/future value of annuities.
  • Timeline Example: Illustrates a series of cash flows occurring at various times.
  • Quiz Questions: Example calculation problems for simple and compound interest.
