Time Value of Money - Interest and Annuities

Re. 1 received today is worth more than Re. 1 receivable at some future date, because Re. 1 received today could be earning interest in the intervening period. This is the concept of the time value of money.

The process of converting future sums into their present equivalents is known as discounting, which is simply the opposite of compounding.

What if interest is paid more frequently?

Annually = P( 1 + r) = Annual compounding
Quarterly = P(l + r/4)4 = Quarterly compounding
Monthly = P(l+r/l2)12 = montly compounding

The Rule of 72

This rule allows you to determine the number of years before your money doubles whether in debt or investment.

Future Value of Money

For finding out future value (FV). we must use compounding formula which is given

FV = PV( 1 + r)n

Where PV means present value, 1 means one rupee, r means rate of interest and n means period or term.

Example:
If Rs. 100000 is invested for a period of 5 years at interest at 10% p.a. find the maturity sum i.e. future value

Solution

The formula for finding FV is 
FV = PV( 1 + r)n

= 100000(1 +0.10)^5
= 100000(1.10)^5
= 100000(1.61)
= 1610000

So the maturity sum will be Rs. 1,61,000

Future value of annuities

Annuities are essentially series of fixed payments required from you or paid to you at a specified frequency over the course of a fixed period of time.

Ordinary Annuity : Payments are made/received at the end of each period.

F = A [(1+i)^n] / i  or FV = Annuity x CV factor

Where,
F = future value of an annuity
A = annuity
i = interest rate
n = term

Annuity Due : Payments are made/received at the beginning of each period.

F = A [(1+i)^n - 1] / i x (1+i)

Where,
F = future value of an annuity
A = annuity
i = interest rate
n = term

Example :

Future value of annuity due of Rs. 1000 for a period of 5 years at interest rate of 5% would be

FV (Annuity Due) = A [(1+i)^n - 1] / i x (1+i)
= 1000[(l+0.05)^5 - 1)] / (0.05) x (1+0.05)
= 1000 x 5.525 x 1.05
= Rs 5801.91

Present Value

Present value is nothing but the reverse of future value. The formula :

PV = FV + (1 +r)n   or PV = FV x PV factor

Where,
PV means present value
1 means one rupee
r means rate of interest
n means period or term
FV means future value

Example:

If Rs. 161000 is the maturity value(future value) of investment, invested for a period of 5 years at interest at 10% p.a. find the amount invested (present value).

Solution:
The formula for finding PV is
PV = FV/( 1 + r)n

= 161000/(1 +0.10)^5
= 161000/(1.61)
= 100000

So the present value will be Rs. 100,000
