CHAPTER 5
TIME VALUE OF MONEY
CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
5.1 Explain the importance of the time value of money and how it is related to an
investor’s opportunity costs. Time value of money is the idea that money invested today has
more value than the same amount invested later. This concept helps us to understand how
interest is earned and why investors are indifferent to investment today and future value later.
The opportunity cost of money is the interest rate that would be earned by investing it. For this
reason, we also call the interest rate the “price of money.”
5.2 Define simple interest and explain how it works. Simple interest is interest earned on the
original principal. The growth in the value of an investment is simply the sum of annual interest
earned.
5.3 Define compound interest and explain how it works. Compound interest is interest
earned on the principal amount invested and on any accrued interest. Compound interest can
result in dramatic growth in the value of an investment over time.
5.4 Differentiate between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due, and explain how
special constant payment problems can be valued as annuities and, in special cases, as

perpetuities. Annuities are streams of level payments at regular time intervals. An ordinary
annuity has payments at the end of each period. An annuity due has the same number of
payments as an ordinary annuity, but the payments occur at the beginning of each period. The
present value of an ordinary annuity can be found with a formula that is equal to the sum of the
present value factors. The future value of an ordinary annuity can be found with a formula that is
equal to the sum of the future value factors. To get the present and future value factors for an
annuity due, just multiply the ordinary annuity factors by (1 + k).
Perpetuities are streams of identical payments made at regular time intervals, forever. The
present value of a perpetuity is easy to calculate because all that is needed is to divide the
identical payments by the discount rate.
5.5 Estimate the present value of growing perpetuities and annuities. Growing perpetuities
can be solved using Equation 5-10, while growing annuities can be solved using Equation 5-12.
5.6 Differentiate between quoted rates and effective rates, and explain how quoted rates
can be converted to effective rates. Quoted rates are also called stated rates or annual
percentage rates, which are measured annually and used for quoting purposes. The effective
rate for a period is the rate at which a dollar invested grows over that period. It is usually stated
in percentage terms based on an annual period. The relation can be found in the formula
k = (1+ )m − 1, where QR is the quoted rate, m is the compounding frequency, and k is the
𝑄𝑅
𝑚
annual effective rate.
5.7 Apply annuity formulas to value loans and mortgages, and set up an amortization
schedule. Loans can be valued as an annuity since they meet the three characteristics of an
annuity in that they have equal payments, are for a fixed period of time, and are based on the
same discount rate.
To set up an amortization schedule, five variables are calculated for each period: beginning
principal outstanding, payment, interest, principal repayment, and ending principal outstanding.
5.8 Solve a basic retirement problem. A simple retirement problem can be solved by equating
the present value of the retirement annuity and the future value of the savings annuity.
Comprehensive examples are presented in Section 5.8.

PRACTICE PROBLEMS
76. You have just obtained a $150,000 10-year 6% fixed-rate mortgage. The mortgage is
amortized over 25 years. The interest rate is compounded semi-annually and you make monthly
payments at the end of each month.
Immediately after you signed the paperwork, mortgage rates dropped to 5%. Your bank has
offered you the opportunity to renegotiate the mortgage for a penalty of $10,000. Should you
take this opportunity? Assume your opportunity cost equals the mortgage rate.
Answer: To solve this problem we need to compare the present value of the current monthly
payments discounted at 5% with the present value of the new payments. If the difference is
greater than $10,000 then it is worth it to renegotiate.
n = 25 x 12, PV = $150,000, I/Y = 1.031/6 – 1 = 0.4939%, solve for PMT = $959.7099.
The present value of these payments at 5% compounded semi-annually will be:
1
n = 25 x 12, PV =?, I/Y = 1.025 6 − 1 = 0.4124% , PMT = $959.7099.
The present value of the monthly payments of $959.7099 is $165,010.61.

The present value of the new payments will be $150,000 (by definition).
As the present value of the current payments of $959.71 is more than $10,000 greater than
$150,000; it is worth it for us to renegotiate the mortgage and to take advantage of the lower
interest rate.

Answer: Simple interest is interest that is paid only on the amount originally invested but not on

78. You have received two job offers:

ABC is offering to pay you $5,000 at the end of each month for five years and then $8,000 at the
end of each month for the next five years.
PQR is offering you $2,500 twice a month for the first five years and then $4,000 twice a month
for the next five years.
If your decision is based solely on money, which job offer do you prefer? Why? Note: no
calculations are necessary.
Answer: All else being equal, you prefer the PQR offer. Consider month one where ABC pays
$5,000 at the end of the month but PQR pays $2,500 twice a month. To compare the
paycheques for this month, compare the FV of both salaries at the end of month one.
FV(ABC) = $5,000 while FV(PQR) = 2,500 + 2,500*(1+i). As long as I > 0, the value of PQR at
the end of each month must be greater than the value of ABC. Therefore, you would prefer
PQR’s offer.

81. Explain what the effective (or equivalent) annual interest rate is and why we use it.
Answer: The effective annual interest rate is used when comparing interest rates of different
compounding periods. It is basically the nominal rate expressed as an annual rate, taking into
account the effect of compounding. If you invested $1 for one year at 10 percent compounded
quarterly, at the end of the year you would have $1.1038. Therefore, the effective annual rate is
10.38 percent.

cost of borrowing incurred on the charges to these cards.
Answer: The interest rates publicized are annual percentage rates. They do not show that the
compounding is done on a daily basis, which underestimates the real cost of money. The actual
or true cost should be calculated as the EAR.

83. Kangaroo Motors has a used car for sale at $4,300, which you want to buy for driving to
school. Your parents are willing to lend you the money and charge only 3.60 % APR
compounded monthly. They want the loan repaid equally in 48 months, with the first payment
due at the end of the month in which you buy the car. You estimate that the monthly cost of
operating the car, including gas, insurance, maintenance, and licence fees, will be $160 and
payable at the start of each month. The cost of a monthly bus pass is $95. You expect that the
car will be totally worn out in four years, with zero resale value, when you are finished school.
Your discount rate is 5 percent EAR, compounded annually.
a) What is the monthly interest rate on the parents' car loan?
b) What is the monthly car repayment?
c) What is the monthly opportunity cost of funds?
d) What is the present value of the car costs?
e) If you have three roommates who also need transportation to and from school, how much do
you and your roommates each need to pay a month in order to cover all your costs?
Answer:
a) Monthly interest rate = (3.60%)/12 = 0.30%
b) If PMT is monthly payment, we know that:

PMT × annuity factor (0.30%, 48) = $4,300
PMT = $96.32
Or Calculator, n = 48, PV = $4,300, I/Y = 0.3%, CPT PMT = $96.32
c) Monthly opportunity cost of funds = 1.051/12 – 1 = 0.0041 = 0.41%
d)
Month: 0 1 2 … 47 48
Car Payment $96.32 $96.32 … $96.32 $96.32
Operating Cost $160.00 $160.00 $160.00 … $160.00 $0.00
Total Cost $160.00 $256.32 $256.32 $ $256.32 $96.32
Present value of car costs = $160 + $256.32 × annuity factor(0.41%, 47) + $96.32 / 1.004148
= $11,176.24.
e) The total amount of money needed each month to cover the car costs, given a 5% EAR is:
PMT × annuity due factor (0.41%, 48) = $11,176.24 ➔ PMT = $255.93
If you and your roommates are to cover the cost of the car, dividing it four ways, you each pay
$255.93/4 = $63.98.
