False

FV = ______× (1 + r)^t

PV

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the present value of a future amount, expected in t years at r percent interest?

PV = FV/(1 + r)t

True or false: Future value refers to the amount of money an investment is worth today.

false

The amount an investment is worth after one or more periods is called the ______ value.

future

Future value is the value of an investment at some time in the future.

more than

Future value is the Blank______ value of an investment at some time in the future.

cash

The idea behind______ is that interest is earned on interest.

compounding

If you invest for a single period at an interest rate of r, your money will grow to Blank______ per dollar invested.

(1+r)

Which formula below represents a present value factor?

1/(1 + r)t

Which of the following is the multi-period formula for compounding a present value into a future value?

FV = PV × (1 + r)t

True or false: When entering the interest rate in a financial calculator, you should key in the interest rate as a decimal.

False

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

True

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

- a time value of money table - an algebraic formula - a financial calculator

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.

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

- spreadsheet functions - financial calculator

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: The formula for a present value factor is 1/(1+r)t1/1+rt.

True

True or false: If you invest for two periods at an interest rate of r, then your money will grow to (1 + r) per dollar invested.

false

The current value of a future cash flow discounted at the appropriate rate is called the Blank______ value.

present

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

two

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

compounding

In a present value equation, the rate (r) can be found using the PV, FV, and t.

discount

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

discounted cash flow (DCF)

Why is a dollar received today worth more than a dollar received in the future?

Today's dollar can be reinvested, yielding a greater amount in the future.
