CHAPTER 6
TIME VALUE OF MONEY CONCEPTS
Overview
Time value of money concepts, specifically future value and present value, are essential in a
variety of accounting situations. These concepts and the related computational procedures are the
subjects of this chapter. Present values and future values of single amounts and present values and
future values of annuities (series of equal periodic payments) are described separately but shown to
be interrelated.
Learning Objectives
LO6-1 Explain the difference between simple and compound interest.
LO6-2 Compute the future value of a single amount.
LO6-3 Compute the present value of a single amount.
LO6-4 Solve for either the interest rate or the number of compounding periods when present value
and future value of a single amount are known.
LO6-5 Explain the difference between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due situation.
LO6-6 Compute the future value of both an ordinary annuity and an annuity due.
LO6-7 Compute the present value of an ordinary annuity, an annuity due, and a deferred annuity.
LO6-8 Solve for unknown values in annuity situations involving present value.
LO6-9 Briefly describe how the concept of the time value of money is incorporated into the
valuation of bonds, long-term leases, and pension obligations.
Lecture Outline
Part A: Basic Concepts
I. Time Value of Money (T6-1)
A. The time value of money means that money can be invested today to earn interest and
grow to a larger dollar amount in the future.
B. Interest is the amount of money paid or received in excess of the amount borrowed or
lent.
1. Simple interest is computed by multiplying an initial investment times both the
applicable interest rate and the period of time for which the money is used.
2. Compound interest includes interest not only on the initial investment but also on the
accumulated interest in previous periods. (T6-2)
6-2 Intermediate Accounting, 8/e
II. Valuing a Single Cash Flow Amount
A. The future value of a single amount (FV) is the amount of money that a dollar will grow to
at some point in the future.
1. The future value of a single amount can be calculated by multiplying the initial
investment (I) times (1 + i)n
where: i = interest rate
n = number of compounding periods (T6-3)
2. The future value also can be determined by using Table 1, Future Value of $1. (T6-4)
B. The present value of a single amount (PV) is today's equivalent of a particular amount in
the future.
1. The present value of a single amount can be calculated by dividing the future value by
(1 + i)n. (T6-5)
2. As with future value, we can use a table, Table 2, Present Value of $1, to determine
present value. (T6-6)
C. Solving for other values when PV and FV are known
1. There are four variables in the process of adjusting single cash flow amounts for the
time value of money: the present value (PV), the future value (FV), the number of
compounding periods (n), and the interest rate (i).
2. If you know any three of these, the fourth can be determined. (T6-7) (T6-8)
III. Accounting Applications of Present Value Techniques - Single Cash Amount
A. Most receivables and payables are valued at the present value of future cash flows,
reflecting an appropriate time value of money.
B. While most notes, loans, and mortgages explicitly state an interest rate that will properly
reflect the time value of money, there can be exceptions. (T6-9)
IV. Expected Cash Flow Approach
A. SFAC No. 7 provides a framework for using future cash flows as the basis for accounting
measurement and asserts that the objective in valuing an asset or liability using present
value is to approximate the fair value of that asset or liability.
B. Traditionally, the way uncertainty has been considered in present value calculations has
been by discounting the best estimate of future cash flows applying a discount rate that has
been adjusted to reflect the uncertainty or risk of those cash flows. SFAC No. 7 offers an
alternative method called the expected cash flow approach. This approach adjusts for
uncertainty or risk of cash flows by incorporating specific probabilities of cash flows into
the analysis. (T6-10)
Part B: Basic Annuities
I. Ordinary Annuity and Annuity Due (T6-11)
A. An annuity is a series of equal-sized cash flows occurring over equal intervals of time.
B. In an ordinary annuity cash flows occur at the end of each period.
C. In an annuity due cash flows occur at the beginning of each period.
II. Future Value of an Annuity
A. The future value of an annuity can be determined by summing the future value of each of
III. Present Value of an Annuity
A. The present value of an annuity can be determined by summing the present value of each
of the individual cash payments or by using the appropriate annuity table, Table 5, Present
IV. Financial Calculators and Excel
Financial calculators can be used to solve future and present value problems. Also, many
professionals choose to use spreadsheet software, such as Excel, to solve time value of money
problems. These spreadsheets can be used in a variety of ways. A template can be created
using the formulas or you can use the software’s built-in financial functions.
V. Solving for Unknown Values in Present Value Situations
A. In present value problems involving annuities, there are four variables: present value of an
annuity (PVA or PVAD), the amount of each annuity payment, the number of periods (n),
and the interest rate (i).
B. If you know any three of these, the fourth can be determined. (T6-17) (T6-18)
6-4 Intermediate Accounting, 8/e
VI. Accounting Applications of Present Value Techniques - Annuities
A. Because financial instruments typically specify equal periodic payments, accounting
applications incorporating the time value of money concept quite often involve annuity
situations.
B. Three examples are:
1. The valuation of long-term bonds. (T6-19)

COMPOUND INTEREST
Compound interest includes interest not only on the initial
investment but also on the accumulated interest in previous
periods.

Cindy Johnson invested $1,000 in a savings account paying
10% interest compounded annually.

Thus, $1,000 is the present value (PV) of the single sum of
$1,331 to be received at the end of three years.

SOLVING FOR OTHER VALUES WHEN FV AND PV ARE KNOWN
There are four variables in the process of adjusting single cash flow
If you know any three of these, the fourth can be determined.
Suppose a friend asks to borrow $500 today and promises to repay
you $605 two years from now. What is the annual interest rate you
would be agreeing to?

When you consult the present value table, Table 2, you search row 2 (n=2) for

VALUING A NOTE ⎯ ONE PAYMENT ⎯ NO EXPLICIT INTEREST

Harmon to sign a noninterest-bearing note of $60,500 with payment
due in two years.

EXPECTED CASH FLOW APPROACH
➢ Present value measurement has long been integrated with accounting valuation.
➢ Traditionally, the way uncertainty has been considered in present value
calculations has been by discounting the best estimate of future cash flows
applying a discount rate that has been adjusted to reflect the uncertainty or risk
of those cash flows.
LDD Corporation faces the likelihood of having to pay an uncertain amount in five years in
connection with an environmental cleanup. The future cash flow estimate is in the range of $100
million to $300 million with the following estimated probabilities:
Loss amount Probability
$100 million 10%
$200 million 60%
$300 million 30%
The expected cash flow, then, is $220 million:
$100 x 10% = $10 million
If the risk-free rate of interest is 5%, LDD will report a liability of $172,376,600, the present value
of the expected cash outflow:
$220,000,000

ANNUITIES
An annuity is a series of equal-sized cash flows occurring
over equal intervals of time.
➢ In an ordinary annuity cash flows occur at the end of
each period.
12/31/16 12/31/17 12/31/18 12/31/19
➢ In an annuity due cash flows occur at the beginning of
each period.

FUTURE VALUE OF AN ORDINARY ANNUITY
Sally Rogers wants to accumulate a sum of money to pay for graduate
school. Rather than investing a single amount today that will grow to
a future value, she decides to invest $10,000 a year over the next
three years in a savings account paying 10% interest compounded
annually. She decides to make the first payment to the bank one year
from today.
