Discussion Questions
1. What do you suppose a man is attempting to do with his
investment portfolio by selecting multiple forms of
investments?
2. Although retirement may seem like a long time away, why
is it important to start saving early for your “golden
years?”
3. If interest rates end up being lower than a man assumes,
what must he do to build his goal “nest egg?”
4. What impacts will a change in your family status (such as
getting married or having a child) have on your
investment decisions?

Single Cash Flows

– When compound interest is used, the
interest rate (i) is interpreted as the rate of
change in the accumulated value of money,
and In is the accumulated interest over n
years, given by

Interest for 5 Years
Suppose you loan $10,000 for 1 year to an individual who
agrees to pay you interest at a compound rate of 10
percent/year. At the end of 1 year, the individual asks to
extend the loan period an additional year. The borrower
repeats the process several more times. Five years after
loaning the person the $10,000, how much would the
individual owe you?

+ $400(0.70496) + $200(0.62741)

2-37
Example 2.8 – Using the EXCEL
NPV Function
Recall Example 2.6, depicted in Figure 2.8. The Excel®
NPV worksheet function is well suited for such a problem.
However, as shown in Figure 2.9, no blank cells can be
included in the range of cash flows, and every time period
must be accounted for. Finally, since the cash flow at time
zero is, in fact, zero, there is no need to add the value of
C3 to the NPV calculation. As before, the future worth can
be obtained by using the NPV value. Notice, the value
obtained for the present worth, $597.02, is within 2¢ of the
value obtained in Example 2.6 using the interest tables in
Appendix A, and the value obtained for the future worth,
$951.56, is identical to the value obtained in Example 2.7
using the interest tables in Appendix A.

Find: P
Copyright 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Example 2.9 – Computing the Present Worth
of a Uniform Series of Cash Flows (cont.)

Because of the relationship of P and A, as


depicted in Figure 2.10, in which P occurs one
period before the first A, we see that

P = $2,000(P|A 5%, 5)
= $2,000(4.32948)
= $8,658.96

Thus, if $8,658.96 is deposited in a fund paying 5 percent
compounded annually, then five equal annual withdrawals
of $2,000 can be made. After the fifth withdrawal, the fund

Annual Interest Rate (cont.)

Calculate the effective annual interest rate for


each of the following cases: (b) 12 percent per
year compounded monthly

Compounding Frequency

 When Compounding and Cash Flow


Frequencies Differ
– Let r denote the nominal annual interest rate for
money and m denote the number of compounding
periods in a year; let k denote the number of cash
flows in a year, and let i denote the interest rate per
cash flow period. The value of i is obtained as
follows:
