SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Money-time relationships
Money has a time value because it can earn interest (or profit)
over time.
Simple interest:
Total interest is linearly proportional to the amount of loan
(principal), the interest rate, and the number of interest periods.

I = (P)(N)(i)

I : total interest
P : principal
N : number of interest periods
i : interest rate per interest period.

Example 4.1: You borrowed $10,000 for 3 years at a simple


interest rate of 10%. How much will you repay at the end of 3rd
year?
I = (10, 000)(3)(0.1) = $3, 000. You need to pay $13,000.
SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money
Compound interest:
Suppose the interest accumulates as follows:
Period, p Amount owed Interest amount Amount owed
at the start of p for p at the end of p
1 $10,000 $1,000 $11,000
2 $11,000 $1,100 $12,100
3 $12,100 $1,210 $13,310

You would repay $13,310. Total interest payment would be


$13,310-$10,000=$3,310>$3,000 (interest in simple interest
calculation).
Interest accumulates over the earned interests in the previous
periods. More common than simple interest.

Generalize: Future equivalent of $10,000 (P) at the end of 3 (N)


periods is P(1 + i)N = $10, 000(1.1)3 .

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Economic equivalence

When comparing the alternatives, we should consider:


the interest rate
the amounts of money involved
the timing of the monetary receipts or expenses
the manner in which the interest (or profit) is paid
Back to the example with compound interest:
$10,000 now is equivalent to $11,000 one year from now, and it
is equivalent to $12,100 two years from now under the fixed
compound interest rate of 10%. One should be indifferent
between the following three alternatives:
1 Pay/receive $10,000 now
2 Pay/receive $11,000 one year from now
3 Pay/receive $12,100 two years from now

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Example 4.2 (3 plans for repayment of $10,000 in three years
at 10% per year)
You owe $10,000 to your credit card company. You have 3
plans to pay the balance back:

Plan 1: Pay interest due at end of each year and principal at


end of third year.
Year Amount owed Interest Principal payment Total pmnt.
1 10,000 1,000 0 1,000
2 10,000 1,000 0 1,000
3 10,000 1,000 10,000 11,000
Total: 3,000 13,000

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Plan 2: Pay principal and interest in one payment at the end of
third year.
Year Amount owed Interest Principal payment Total pmnt.
1 10,000 1,000 0 0
2 11,000 1,100 0 0
3 12,100 1,210 10,000 13,310
Total: 3,310 13,310

Plan 3: Pay off the debt in 3 equal end-of-year payments.


Year Amount owed Interest Principal payment Total pmnt.
1 10,000 1,000 3,021 4,021
2 6,979 697.9 3,323 4,021
3 3,656 365.6 3,656 4,021
Total: 2,063.5 12,063

Plan 1,2 and 3 are all equivalent at the compound interest rate
of 10%! (Why? You can answer it at the end of this chapter.)

Cash-flow diagrams
i = effective interest rate per interest period
N = number of compounding periods
P = the present sum of money
F = future sum of money
A = end-of-period cash flows in a uniform series for a specified
number of periods, starting at the end of first period and
continuing through the last period.
In a cash-flow diagram:
horizontal line represents time scale,
arrows represent cash flows. Downward arrows represent
expenses (negative cash flows or cash outflows) and
upward arrows represent receipts (positive cash flows or
cash inflows).
The cash-flow diagram is dependent on the point of view.
In the course, without explicitly mention, the company’s
(investor’s) point of view will be taken.

Rules for performing calculations with cash flows

Three Rules for performing arithmetic calculations with cash


flows:
1 Cash flows cannot be added or subtracted unless they
occur at the same point in time.
2 To move a cash flow forward in time by one time unit,
multiply the magnitude of the cash flow by (1 + i).
3 To move a cash flow backward in time by one time unit,
divide the magnitude of the cash flow by (1 + i).

Example 4.5: You deposit $50,000 now in a savings account at
an interest rate of 8% per year. How much will you have in this
account at the end of fifth year? Assume the interest rate is
constant at 8% for the next five years.
Solution: P = 50, 000, i = 8% per year, N = 5
F = P(F/P, 8%, 5) = 50, 000(1 + 0.08)5 = $73, 466

Example 4.6: How much should you deposit in a savings


account now so that you will have $100,000 in this account 6
years from now? Assume that the interest rate is 5% per year.
Solution: F = 100, 000, i = 5% per year, N = 6

(Blank&Tarquin) Chemical Engineers at a Coleman Industries


plant in the Midwest have determined that a small amount of a
newly available chemical additive will increase the water
repellency of Coleman’s tent fabric by 20%. The plant
superintendent has arranged to purchase the additive through
a 5-year contract at $7,000 per year, starting 1 year from now.
He expects the annual price to increase by 12% per year
thereafter for the next 8 years. Additionally, an initial investment
of $35,000 was made now to prepare a site suitable for the
contractor to deliver the additive. Use i=15% per year to

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


In Plan 1, the interest rate "12% per year" is known as the
effective interest rate per year, the same as the one we use
before.

In plan 2, the interest rate "12% per year compounded monthly"


is known as the nominal interest rate per year with the
compounding period 1 month (or compounding frequency 12).

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


In general, the nominal and effective interest rates are related
by
!M
r(M)
i= 1+ −1 (NOM-EFF)
M
where
i: effective interest rate per period;
r(M) : nominal interest rate per period with compounding
frequency M.

It is obvious that i = r(1) .

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Example 4.16

You own a credit card which has a nominal interest rate of 15%
per year, compounded monthly. a) What is the effective annual
interest rate? b) Suppose your balance as of today (year 0) is
$10,000. How much will you owe to the credit card company at
the end of 3 years if you do not make any payments during 3
years?
Solution: 12
a) i = 1 + 0.15
12 − 1 = 16.07%
b) Use formula (F/P,i%,N). We can use effective annual interest
rate of i% and N=3.
P(F/P, i%, N) = 10, 000(F/P, 16.07%, 3) = 15, 637
Alternatively, we can use interest rate per month 0.15
12 = 0.0125
and N=3(12)=36.
P(F/P, i%, N) = 10, 000(F/P, 1.25%, 36) = 15, 639

Continuous compounding

What if M (number of compounding periods) → ∞. What is the


effective (continuous) interest rate?
r M

We know that i = 1 + M − 1.
r M

lim i = lim 1 + M − lim 1
M→∞ M→∞ p M→∞
Recall: lim 1 + p1 = e (natural logarithm base)
p→∞
M
Let r =p
h pr i h p ir
⇒ i = lim 1 + 1p − 1 = lim 1 + 1p −1
p→∞ p→∞
⇒ i = er − 1
We can obtain the interest formulas relating P,F,A, by using the
relation i = er − 1.

Payment Period and Compounding Period

Payment Period (PP) and Compounding Period (CP) of cash


flow:
Type 1: PP = CP (Done!)
Type 2: PP > CP
Type 3: PP < CP

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Type 2: PP > CP

The strategy in this case is to find the effective interest rate per
PP by using the relation (NOM-EFF).

Example 4.17: For the past 7 years, a quality manager has paid
$500 every 6 months for the software maintenance contract of
a LAN. What is the equivalent amount after the last payment, if
these funds are taken from a pool that has been returning 10%
per year compounded quarterly?

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Solution

PP = 6 months; CP = 3 months.

The effective interest rate per 6-month i is given by

0.05 2
 
i= 1+ − 1 = 0.05063.
2

The equivalent amount after the last payment


= 500(F/A, 5.063%, 14) = $9, 842.

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Type 3: PP < CP; Case 1

Assumption: Interperiod cash flows earn interest.

Under the above assumption, the strategy is similar to the case


of Type 2 by finding the effective interest rate per PP. Different
from Type 2, we cannot apply the relation of the nominal and
effective interest rates in (NOM-EFF) directly. The detailed
treatment can refer to Example 4.18 below.

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Example 4.18

Suppose you make $500 monthly deposits to a tax-deferred


retirement plan that pays interest at a rate of 10% per year
compounded quarterly. Compute the balance at the end of 10
years.

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Solution

PP = 1 month; CP = 3 months.

The effective interest rate per 1 month i is given by

10% 1/3
 
i= 1+ − 1 = 0.826%
4

The balance at the end of 10 years =


$500(F/A, 0.826%, 120) = $101, 907.89.

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Type 3: PP < CP; Case 2

Assumption: Interperiod cash flows earn no interest.

In this case,
Deposits (negative cash flows) are all regarded as
deposited at the end of the compounding period.
Withdrawals (positive cash flows) are all regarded as
withdrawn at the beginning of the compounding period.

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Example 4.19

Consider Example 4.18 again. Suppose that money deposited


during a quarter (the compounding period) will not earn any
interest. Compute the balance at the end of 10 years.

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Solution

Months
0 3 6 … 120

A = $500

Quarters
0 1 2 … 39 40

A = $1,500

SEEM2440A/B Chapter 4 - Time value of money


Solution

The effective interest rate per quarter = 10%


4 = 2.5%.
A = 3($500) = $1, 500 per quarter.
So,
F = $1, 500(F/A, 2.5%, 40) = $101, 103.83.
