year. What will be her investment balance at the end of the year? What is the effective
annual interest rate? -✓✓Divide 10% by 2 to make it 5% interest (annual rate divided
by 2 periods of 6 months).
Initial deposit after 6 months: 1,000 x 5% = 50
End of year 1: 1,050 x 5% = 52.50
Total balance after 1 year: 1,102.50
• Single Cash Flow Formulas
- Future Value
- Present Value -✓✓- Future Value = PV x FV $ Factor
- Present Value = FV x PV $ Factor
- Future value entrails the addition of interest
- Present value entails the removal of interest
• Cindy invested $1,000 in a savings account for 3 years paying 10% interest
compounded annually. What can she receive at the end of year 3? -✓✓FV = PV x FV $
Factor
FV = 1,000 x 1.331 (from table)
FV = 1,331
or...
1,000 x 1.10 [1.00+.10] then multiply it be 3 years
1,000 x 1.10 x 1.10 x 1.10 = 1,331

• Turp and Tyne Distillery is considering investing in a two-year project. The company's
required rate of return is 10%. The present value of $1 for one period at 10% is .909
and .826 for two periods at 10%. The project is expected to create cash flows, net of
taxes, of $240,000 in the first year, and $300,000 in the second year. The distillery

the first day of the agreement. And the last payment is made 1 period before the end of
the agreement.
• Valuing Annuity

- Present Value of equal cash flows -✓✓- Future Value = Ann x FV Ann Factor. (If lump
sum occurs at the end or after annuity payments. o o o O)
- Present Value = Ann x PV Ann Factor. (If lump sum occurs 1st or before annuity
payments. O o o o )
, • Sally Rogers wants to accumulate a sum of money to pay for graduate school. Rather
than investing a single amount today that will grow to a future value, she decides to
invest $10,000 a year over the next 3 years in a savings account paying 10% interest
compounded annually. She decides to make the 1st payment to the bank 1 year from
today. How much will Sally get at the end of the 3 years? -✓✓Looking for FV b/c you
are building up to a lump sum. Ordinary annuity b/c she wants to see what she gets at
the end of the period.
FVA = Ann x FV Ordinary Ann Factor
FVA = 10,000 x 3.31
FVA = 33,100
