Time Value of Money. Access the online Corporate Finance resource and read the section on Time Value of Money (pages 33 thru 69). (File is located in your Moodle Shell)The “Time Value of Money” chapter offered several concepts and practical examples. Which concept and example did you find most interesting? Explain/elaborate.
Response: Manhattan Island (an example offered within the chapter):Explain how $24 invested in a savings account offering a compound interest rate, r, of 8% in 1626, would have been worth $75.979 trillion in the year 2000 (374 years).
Explain how $24 invested in a savings account offering a compound interest rate, r, of 3.5% in 1626, would have been worth $9,287,569 (or approximately 9.3 million) in the year 2000.
What accounts for the significant difference in the value of the account in the year 2000?
1.
* Present
Values. Compute the present value of a $100 cash flow for the following
combinations of discount rates and times. Include the formula used to make the
calculations. Note: See page 50 and 51 of the online resource; the general
formula is:
Present Value =
Future Value after t periods / (1 + r)t
Show your work:
a.
r = 12%; t = 10 years
b.
r = 12%; t = 20 years
c.
r = 7 percent; t = 10 years
d.
r = 7 percent; t = 20 years
2.
* Present
Values. Would you rather receive $1,000 a year for 10 years or $800 a year
for 15 years if:
Show your work:
a.
The interest rate is 7 percent?
Response and rationale:
b.
The interest rate is 22 percent?
Response
and rationale:
c.
Provide a rational as to why do your answers to
“(a)” and “(b”) differ?
Response:
3.
* Future
Values. Compute the future value of a $100 cash flow for the following
combinations of discount rates and times. Include the formula used to make the
calculations. The general formula is:
Future Value = Present Value * (1
+ r)t
Show your work:
a.
r = 12%; t = 10 years
b.
r = 12%; t = 20 years
c.
r = 7 percent; t = 10 years
d.
r = 7 percent; t = 20 years
