$100

For a given time period (t) and interest rate (r), the present value factor is _______ the future value factor. (Select all that apply.)

-1 divided by -the reciprocal of

Which of the following methods are used to calculate present value?

-A time value of money table -An algebraic formula -A financial calculator

Which of the following processes can be used to calculate the future value of multiple cash flows?

-Calculate the future value of each cash flow first and then sum them -Compound the accumulated balance forward one year at a time

Which of the following are the primary as well as easy ways used to perform financial calculations today?

-Spreadsheet functions -Financial calculator

Which of the following is the appropriate spreadsheet function to convert a quoted rate of 12% compounded quarterly to an EAR?

EFFECT(0.12,4)

Using the PV, discount rate, and --------, you can determine the number of periods.

FV

True or false: The annuity due calculation assumes cash flows occur evenly throughout the period.

False

The effective annual rate (EAR) takes into account the ______ of interest that occurs within a year.

compounding

The idea behind ______ is that interest is earned on interest.

compounding

To calculate the future value of $100 invested for t years at r interest rate, you enter the present value in your calculator as a negative number. Why?

Because the $100 is an outflow from you which should be negative.

The basic present value equation is:

PV = FVt/(1 + r)t

The annuity present value factor equals one __________ the present value factor all divided by the discount rate.

minus

Using an Excel spreadsheet to solve for the payment in an amortized loan, enter the number of periods as the ________ value.

nper

The _________________ for an annuity can be calculated using the annuity present value, the present value factor, and the discount rate.

payment

C/r is the formula for the present value of a(n) ____.

perpetuity

EAR = (1 + __________rate/m)m - 1

quoted

In the Excel setup of a loan amortization problem, which of the following occurs?

- To find the principal payment each month, you subtract the dollar interest payment from the fixed payment. - The payment is found with = PMT(rate, nper, -pv, fv).

Time value of money tables are not as common as they once were because:

- it is easier to use inexpensive financial calculators instead - they are available for only a relatively small number of interest rates.

When entering variables in a spreadsheet function (or in a financial calculator) the "sign convention" can be critical to achieving a correct answer. The sign convention says that outflows are negative values; inflows are positive values. For which variables is this a consideration?

-future values -present values -payment

If you invest at a rate of r for ----------- periods, under compounding, your investment will grow to (1+r)2 per dollar invested.

two

Which of the following is the simplest form of loan?

A pure discount loan

PV = FV/(1+r)

True or false: An ordinary annuity consists of a level stream of cash flows for a fixed period of time.

True

True or false: Given the PV, FV, and life of the investment, you can determine the discount rate.

True

True or false: If you invest at a rate of r for two periods, under compounding, your investment will grow to (1+r)2 per dollar invested.

True

True or false: To find the future value of multiple cash flows, calculate the future value of each cash flow first and then sum them.

True

True or false: When calculating the present value of an annuity using the financial calculator, you enter the cash flows of the annuity in the PMT key.

True

The interest rate charged per period multiplied by the number of periods per year is equal to _____________ _____________ ___________ on a loan.

annual percentage rate

The process of accumulating interest in an investment over time to earn more interest is called _________.

compounding

Calculating the present value of a future cash flow to determine its worth today is commonly called ___________ valuation.

discounted cash flow (DCF)

True or false: The effective annual rate is the interest rate expressed in terms of the interest payment made each period.

false

True or false: The interest rate charged per period divided by the number of periods per year.

false

When finding the present or future value of an annuity using a spreadsheet, the ______ ______ should be entered as a decimal.

interest rate

When dealing with compound interest, it is more financially advantageous to have a _____ time horizon for investment.

Using a time value of money table, what is the future value interest factor for 10 percent for 2 years?

1.21

Which formula below represents a present value factor?

1/(1+r)t

Which of the following spreadsheet functions will calculate the $614.46 present value of an ordinary annuity of $100 per year for 10 years at 10% per year?

=PV(0.10,10,-100,0,0)
