1. a) What do you understand by the time value of money? Distinguish between the present value
and the future value. How is the present value of future inflow calculated?
Answer: The time value of money is a basic financial concept that holds that money in the
present is worth more than the same sum of money to be received in the future. This is true
because money that you have right now can be invested and earn a return, thus creating a larger
amount of money in the future. (Also, with future money, there is the additional risk that the
money may never actually be received, for one reason or another.) The time value of money is
sometimes referred to as the net present value (NPV) of money.
Which pay option should you take? It depends on what kind of investment return you can earn on
the money at the present time. Since $1,100 is 110% of $1,000, then if you believe you can make
more than a 10% return on the money by investing it over the next year, you should opt to take
the $1,000 now. On the other hand, if you don’t think you could earn more than 9% in the next
year by investing the money, then you should take the future payment of $1,100 – as long as you
trust the person to pay you then.
Why is this important? Because inflation constantly erodes the value, and therefore the
purchasing power, of money. It is best exemplified by the prices of commodities such as gas or
food. If, for example, you were given a certificate for $100 of free gasoline in 1990, you could
have bought a lot more gallons of gas than you could have if you were given $100 of free gas a
decade later.
purchasing power of money
Inflation and purchasing power must be factored in when you invest money because to calculate
your real return on an investment, you must subtract the rate of inflation from whatever
percentage return you earn on your money. If the rate of inflation is actually higher than the rate
of your investment return, then even though your investment shows a nominal positive return,
you are actually losing money in terms of purchasing power. For example, if you earn a 10% on
investments, but the rate of inflation is 15%, you’re actually losing 5% in purchasing power each
year (10% – 15% = -5%).
A specific formula can be used for calculating the future value of money so that it can be
compared to the present value:
FV = PV x [ 1+ ( i /n)](n x t)
Where:
Current value of cash flow in future. Value of future flow after certain future

Present value = (cash flow)/ (1 + r)^n. Future value = (present value) or (cash
flow) (1 + r)^n
The formula for finding the present value of future cash flows (PV) = C * [(1 - (1+i)^-n)/i], where
C = the cash flow each period, i = the interest rate, and n = number of payments. This is the short
cut to the long-hand version.

2. Discuss the importance of working capital management for a typical manufacturing firm.
Distinguish between permanent and temporary working capital. Graphically explain the
conservative, aggressive and maturity matching approaches to finance working capital of a firm.
There are three strategies or approaches or methods of working capital financing – Maturity
Matching (Hedging), Conservative and Aggressive. Hedging approach is an ideal method of
financing with moderate risk and profitability. Other two are extreme strategies. Conservative
approach is highly conservative with very low risk and therefore low profitability. An aggressive
approach is highly aggressive having high risk and high profitability.

3. Describe the sources of long term financing. a. Discussbriefly the framework for financial
analysis. Discuss the characteristics of short term loans. What is cost of trade credit? Explain with
the terms of sale “2 /10, net 40”
Short-Term Loan
Access to Quick Cash. Unlike long-term loans that require a lengthy application and
approval process before funds are transferred, short-term loans are often completed
within short time.
No Collateral. Improved Credit Score.
Quick Application Process.
Wide Range of Uses.
Money Can Be Deposited Directly to Your Account.
Cost of Trade Credit is called Cost of Not Taking the Discount. For Example: Let's say that
your company is offered terms of trade of 2/10, net 30. This means that the supplier will offer you
a 2 percent discount if you pay your bill in 10 days.
3. a) Discuss the impact of the level of current assets on liquidity, profitability and risk.
Impact on Liquidity
Greater current asset levels generate more liquidity all other factors held constant
Impact on Risk
Decreasing cash reduces the firm’s ability to meet its financial obligations.-More risk!
Stricter credit policies reduce receivables and possibly lose sales and customers.-More risk!
Lower inventory levels increase stockouts and lost sales.-More risk!
You are required to prepare statement showing the working capital requirement of Good-
Luck Corporation if the company has a policy of Selling 30% in cash and 70%on credit.
