The measure that relates present values to future values is the interest rate i. A present value can be
moved forward in time with interest to arrive at the future value (Future value in N years =
FVN = PV (1+i)N . A future value can be discounted back to the present by rearranging the equation so
that the FV is divided by the interest factor.
Interest rates have an inverse relationship to present values. Increases in expected interest rates result
in lower present values because future values are discounted at a higher rate to become smaller
present values. Decreases in expected interest rates result in higher present values because future
values are discounted at a lower rate.
FVN = PV × (1 + i)N
FV1 = $400 × (1 + 0.09)1
= $400 × 1.09
= $436
Or N=1, I=9, PV=−400, PMT=0, CPT FV == 436
Multiyear Future Value How much would be in your savings account in eleven years after
depositing $150 today if the bank pays 8 percent per year?
FVN = PV × (1 + i)N
FV8 = $150 × (1 + 0.08)11
= $150 × 2.3316
= $349.74
Or N=11, I=8, PV=−150, PMT=0, CPT FV == 349.745
Question 5 (Textbook - Problem 4 -8)
Compounding with Different Interest Rates A deposit of $750 earns interest rates of 9
percent in the first year and 12 percent in the second year. What would be the second year
future value?
FV = PV × (1 + i) (1 + j)
FV = $750 × (1 + 0.09) (1 + 0.12)
= $750 × 1.09 × 1.12
= $915.60
Discounting One Year What is the present value of a $350 payment in one year when the
discount rate is 10 percent?
PV = FV / (1 + i)
PV = $350 / (1 + 0.10)
= $350 / 1.10
= $318.18
Or N=1, I=10, PMT=0, FV=−350, CPT PV == 318.182
PV = FV / (1 + i)N
PV = $850 / (1 + 0.12)10
= $850 / 3.10585
= $273.68
Or N=10, I=12, PMT=0, FV=−850, CPT PV == 273.68
Question 8 (Textbook - Problem 4 -17)
Rule of 72 Approximately what interest rate is needed to double an investment over five
years?
N = 72 / 5 = 14.40 percent
The $2,000 investment will grow to a future value of $2,938.66 [= FV5 = $2,000 × (1 +
0.08)5], assuming compounded interest over the 5 years. The total interest earned is $938.66.
The interest earned on the original investment is $160 per year for 5 years, or $800. The
interest earned on the interest is the difference of $138.66 [= $938.66 − $800].
FVN = PV × (1 + i)N
FV7 = PV2×(1 + i) (7 – 2)
$6,500 = $4,000 × (1 + i)5
(1 + i) 5 = $6,500 / $4,000
i = (1.625) (1/5) -1 = 1.10197 – 1 = 0.10197 or 10.20%
Or N=5, PV=−4000, PMT=0, FV=6500, CPT I == 10.197
