Let’s Try This!
1. Calculating Present and Future Values. (3 points)
Use future or present value techniques to solve the following problems:
a. How much money you will have in five years if you invest P5,000 now and earn an annual return
of 4%.

FV= PV (1+r)^n

FV=PV (1+4%)^5

FV= 5,000 (1+.04)^5

FV= 5,000 (1.216652902)

FV= P6, 083.26

b. What if you invested your P5,000 for twenty years instead of five years? Assuming that the
interest rate is still 4%. How much money will you have?
FV= PV (1+r)^n

FV=PV(1+4%)^n

FV= 5,000 (1+.04)^20

FV= 5,000 (2.191123143)

FV= P10, 955.62

c. You would like to accumulate P50,000 in five years by making a single investment today. You
believe you can achieve a return from your investment of 7% annually. What is the amount that
you need to invest today to achieve your goal?

FV
PV=
( 1+i )n

50,000
PV=
( 1+.07 )5

50,000
PV=
1.402551731

1. The Time Value of Money: Putting a Peso Value on Financial Goals (4 points)
Assume that one of your financial goals is to buy your first home in six years. Your first question
is how much you want to spend on that home. Let’s say you’ve done your research and feel that, taking
future inflation into consideration, you can buy a nice condominium for about P2,000,000 in six years. Of
course, you won’t need the full amount, but assuming that you’ll make a 20% down payment of P400,000
and pay P50,000 in closing costs, you need P450,000. You now have a well-defined financial goal: To
accumulate P450,000 in six years to buy a home costing about P2,000,000. 
The next question is how to get all that money. You can easily estimate how much to save or
invest each year if you know your goal and what you expect to earn on your savings or investments. In
this case, if you have to start from scratch (that is if nothing has already been saved) and estimate that you
can earn about 5% on your money.  How much will you have to save or invest per year for each of the
next six years to accumulate P450,000 over that time?

( 1+ r )n−1
FV= PV
r

( 1+.05 )6−1
450,000 = PV

450,000 = PV (6.801912813)

450,000
=
6.801912813

1. Calculating the Present Value of Future Cash Flows to Make Smart Decisions (3 points)
You developed an app that you believe will generate P60,000 in income (after paying income
taxes) for you at the end of every year for the next ten years, and the app will become useless after that
point. You will invest these funds and expect to earn a 5% annual rate of return. A financial firm has
offered to purchase your app from you for P500,000. Are you better off keeping your app (in order to
generate income over the next ten years), or selling the app today to receive a large payment now?

( 1+r )n −1 If I choose to sell the app today, I will receive


FV of Annuity = P ⌊ ⌋
r P500,000 but if I opt to keep the app and let it
generate income for 10 years I will receive P754,
( 1+.05 )10−1
=60,000
[ .05 ] 673.55. It’s obvious which one is higher. However,
when making financial decision I cannot just simply
look at the numbers. I also need to consider other
( 1.05 )10−1
=60,000
[ .05 ] factors like my needs. If my needs cannot wait for ten
years, then it is better to choose selling the app. On
the other hand, if my needs can wait for 10 years, then
=60,000 it is wiser to keep the app.
1.6288946−1
[ .05 ] Furthermore, I also need to consider the time value of
money. Because the value of money is affected by the
0.6288946 point in time it is received. If I opt to sell the app, I
=60,000 [ .05 ] might be able to purchase more things. But if I opt to
wait 10 years then there is a high chance that products
are more expensive and I can only purchase less.
