Three Ways to Alter Future Values

1) Increasing the amount of cash you have. 2) Saving for a longer period of time allows savings amount to grow at a faster rate exponentially 3) Locating an investment that earns more interest.

Three Interest Rates to Track

1) Stated Annual Interest Rate: The interest rate stated on an annual basis. 2) Periodic Interest Rate: The interest rate applied each month to the principle. 3) Effective Annual Interest Rate: The interest rate that reflects the effect of compounding over the entire annual period. For the effective annual interest rate, you apply the quarterly interest rate for the number of compounding periods within a year. -So, what you have are two annual rates, one for the nominal rate stated on an annual basis, the other reflecting the effects of compounding. -These two annual rates are connected through the periodic rate.

ways to calculate FV for multiple cash flows

1) compound the accumulated balance forward 1 year at a time 2) calculate FV of each cash flow first and then add these up

ways to calculate PV for multiple cash flows

1) discount back one time period at a time 2) calculate PVs individually and add them up

calculating EARs

1) divide the quoted rate by the number of times that the interest is compounded 2) then add 1 to the result and raise it to the power of number of times the interest is compounded 3) finally, subtract the 1. If you let *m* be the # of times the interest is compounded during the year, then the equation is: EAR= (1+ quoted rate/m)^m

calculating present values -annuities

1) take present value of each cash flow 2) use PV annuity formula 3) use time value tables

EARs concepts

1) the highest quoted rate is not necessarily the best 2) compounding during the year can lead to a significant difference between the quoted rate and the effective rate (what you get or pay for)

which formula represents a present value factor?

1/(1+r)^t

Methods for Evaluating Interest Rates

Stated rate: the nominal rate stated on an annual basis Effective rate: includes the effect of compounding.
