CALCULATING FUTURE AND PRESENT VALUES OF AN INVESTMENT

Money can be invested to earn interest. So, if you are offered the choice between $100
today and $100 next year, you naturally take the money now to get a year’s interest. Finan-
cial managers make the same point when they say that money has a time value or when they
quote the most basic principle of finance: a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.
Suppose you invest $100 in a bank account that pays interest of r =
7% a year. In the
first year you will earn interest of .07 =$100 +
$7 and the value of your investment will
grow to $107:
Value of investment after 1 year =$107
By investing, you give up the opportunity to spend $100 today and you gain the chance to
spend $107 next year.
If you leave your money in the bank for a second year, you earn interest of by raising the interest factor by 2,its the theory of compounding .

The value from interest factor would amount to
$7.49 and your investment will grow to $114.49:
Value of investment after 2 years Would be $107+7.49 =114.49 this is because the interest factor yield a value of $7.49 after compounding for 2years .

How do you decide whether an investment opportunity is worth undertaking? Suppose
you own a small company that is contemplating construction of an office block. The total
cost of buying the land and constructing the building is $370,000, but your real estate
adviser forecasts a shortage of office space a year from now and predicts that you will be
able sell the building for $420,000. For simplicity, we will assume that this $420,000 is a
sure thing.
You should go ahead with the project if the present value (PV) of the cash inflows is
greater than the $370,000 investment. Suppose that the rate of interest on U.S. government
securities is r =
5% per year. Then, the present value of your office building is:
PV =420000/1.05 =$400000

the theory of time value of money is a viable tool in determining the value of an investment .
