9-2. 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
9-3. Why does money have a time value?
Money has a time value because funds received today can be invested to reach a
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.
9-5. 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?

Problems
1. You invest $3,000 for three years at 12 percent.
a. What is the value of your investment after one year? Multiply $3,000 × 1.12.
b. What is the value of your investment after two years? Multiply your answer to part a
by 1.12.
c. What is the value of your investment after three years? Multiply your answer to part
b by 1.12. This gives your final answer.
