Topic 2 Useful tools: financial mathematics 2.1 Introduction: the time value of money
Learning objectives:
 The value of money depends on the point in time when
the monetary flow (inflow/outflow) takes place.
1. Understand the impact of time in the valuation of
monetary flows.  The value of a future flow is lower than the value of a
2. Understand the concept of interest rate and its present flow.
determinants
3. Calculate present and future values of payment flows. Why?
 Giving up present consumption.
4. Be able to value annuities.
 Giving up alternative investment opportunities.
5. Understand the amortization schedule of loans.  Default risk and inflation risk.
