t different points in time, a given dollar amount of money has different values.One dollar received today is worth more than one dollar received tomorrow, because money can be invested with some return.Present Value: Present value allows you to determine how much money that will be received in the future is worth todayThe formula for present value is: PV = Where, C = the amount of money received in the futurer = the annual rate of returnn = the number of years is called the discount factorThe present value PV of a stream of cash is then: PV = C0+ + +Where C0 is the cash expected today, C1 is the cash expected in one year, etc. 1 (1+r)nC (1+r)nC1 1+rC2 (1+r)2Cn (1+r)n28CU7112997ECABOSCopyright169。 1998 Bain Company, Inc.

And the money that money makes, makes more money.” Benjamin FranklinDefinition: Compound interest is puted on a principal amount and any accumulated interest. A bank that pays pound interest on a savings account putes interest periodically (., daily or quarterly) and adds this interest to the original principal. The interest for the following period is puted by using the new principal (., the original principal plus interest).The formula for the amount, A, you will receive at the end of period n is:A = p (1 + )nt where, p = the principalr = the annual interest raten = the number of times pounding is done in a yeart = the number of yearsr nNotes: As the number of times pounding is done per year approaches infinity (as in continuous pounding), the amount, A, you will receive at the end of period n is calculated using the formula:A = pertThe effective annual interest rate (or yield) is the simple interest rate that would generate the same amount of interest as would the pound rate26CU7112997ECABOSCopyright169。 1998 Bain Company, Inc.
