Time Value of Money
Discussion Questions
9-1.
How is the future value (Appendix A) related to the present value of a single
sum (Appendix B)?
The future value represents the expected worth of a single amount, whereas the
present value represents the current worth.

How is the present value of a single sum (Appendix B) related to the present
value of an annuity (Appendix D)?
The present value of a single amount is the discounted value for one future
payment, whereas the present value of an annuity represents the discounted
value of a series of consecutive future payments of equal amount.
9-3.
Why does money have a time value?
Money has a time value because funds received today can be invested to reach a
greater value in the future. A person would rather receive $1 today than $1 in
ten years, because a dollar received today, invested at 6 percent, is worth
$1.791 after ten years.
9-4.
Does inflation have anything to do with making a dollar today worth more than
a dollar tomorrow?
Inflation makes a dollar today worth more than a dollar in the future. Because
inflation tends to erode the purchasing power of money, funds received today
will be worth more than the same amount received in the future.

Adjust the annual formula for a future value of a single amount at 12 percent
for 10 years to a semiannual compounding formula. What are the interest
factors (FVIF) before and after? Why are they different?

The more frequent compounding under the semiannual compounding
assumption increases the future value so that semiannual compounding is worth
.101 more per dollar.

If, as an investor, you had a choice of daily, monthly, or quarterly
compounding, which would you choose? Why?
The greater the number of compounding periods, the larger the future value.
The investor should choose daily compounding over monthly or quarterly.
9-7.
What is a deferred annuity?
A deferred annuity is an annuity in which the equal payments will begin at
some future point in time.

Problems
1. Future value (LO2) You invest $2,500 a year for three years at 8 percent.

9-3
c. What is the value of your investment after three years? Multiply your answer to part b
by 1.08. This gives your final answer.
d. Confirm that your final answer is correct by going to Appendix A (future value of
$1), and looking up the future value for n = 3, and i = 8 percent. Multiply this tabular
value by $2,500 and compare your answer to the answer in part c. There may be a
slight difference due to rounding.

a. What is the value of your investment two years from now? Multiply $4,000 × .909
(one year’s discount rate at 10 percent).
b. What is the value of your investment one year from now? Multiply your answer to
part a by .909 (one year’s discount rate at 10 percent).
c. What is the value of your investment today? Multiply your answer to part b by .909
(one year’s discount rate at 10 percent).
d. Confirm that your answer to part c is correct by going to Appendix B (present value
of $1) for n = 3 and i = 10%. Multiply this tabular value by $4,000 and compare your
answer to part c. There may be a slight difference due to rounding.
9-4. Solution:
a. $4,000 × .909 = $3,636
5. Future value (LO2) If you invest $12,000 today, how much will you have:
