concept that money available at the present time is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity. i.e. Rs,1000/- today has more value than Rs 1000/- in next year. The difference between the value of money at ‘Present’ and its value ‘at a future date’ is referred to as the ‘Time value of Money’. Time value of money is a fundamental concept in financial engineering because it recognizes that the value of money changes over time. F E In financial engineering, which deals with complex financial instruments, I N investment strategies, and risk management, understanding the TVM is crucial. N G It allows financial engineers to make informed decisions, assess risk and maximize I returns in dynamic and uncertain financial environment. A N Financial engineers use techniques such as the risk-adjusted discount rate to N E assess the risk-return trade-off of different investment opportunities and develop E strategies to manage risk effectively. C R Financial engineers use TVM techniques to evaluate the present value of expected I I cash flow from projects such as building new facilities, expanding operations, or A N launching new products.
