ANSWERS TO CHAPTER QUESTIONS Chapter 2 The Time Value of Money 1) Compounding is interest paid on principal and interest accumulated. It is important because normal compounding over many years can result in a more accurate and greater accumulated sum at the end of the period than what may have been anticipated. On the other hand, returns on accumulated sums can be appreciably higher under compounding than calculated through simple return methods. 2) It is important to assess the value of a sum of money at different points in time. Among other things, it leads to incorporation of the required return on monies invested in forming decisions. These decisions may be too complex to determine through simple guesstimates and could lead to wrong conclusions. 3) The present value is the value today of sums to be paid in the future. The value is established by taking future cash flows and discounting them back to the present at an appropriate rate of return. The future value is the accumulated sum at the end of the period. It is calculated by taking cash flows prior to that time frame and compounding them by the appropriate rate of return. 4) The rate of return that could be received on marketable investments having the same level of risk. 5) When a discount rate is raised, the present value of a future sum is reduced. Alternative investments are now providing a higher return which makes the future sum to be received on the investment being considered less valuable. 6) The lump sum today. The reason is the lump sum today has more compounding periods. Assuming a similar market established rate of return for both, a sum invested Copyright © 2017 McGraw-Hill Education.

An annuity due indicates payments made or received at the beginning of the period. Annuity dues have higher values because they have one full period more of compounding. An example of an annuity due is annual payments made on January 1 each year as contributions toward retirement. Annual payments received on December 31 are an example of a regular annuity. 8) The rate of return is the sum you receive expressed as compensation to you for making an investment. An inflation-adjusted return adjusts for a rise in the cost of living. Making that adjustment allows returns to be expressed in purchasing power terms. Doing so is particularly important in personal financial planning which uses investments to fund future expenditures with these future costs often rising with inflation. 9) When payments are due at the end of the period they are called a regular annuity. When payments are due at the beginning of the period they are called an annuity due. 10) The Rule of 72 gives a quick estimate on when your investment return will double based on the investment return percentage. 11) Future value is the value that a set amount of money will be worth using today’s dollars and discounted by the rate of inflation. a) Future value = Cash Flow x (1+interest rate) number of periods 12) The consequence of not accounting for inflation means not accounting for the decrease in the purchasing power of the dollar.

The IRR is often used to determine the profitability of a capital expenditure. Copyright © 2017 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved.
