Deck 4: Time Value of Money

Question 1

All else equal, a dollar received sooner is worth more than a dollar received at some later date, because the sooner the dollar is received the more quickly it can be invested to earn a positive return.

Answer 1

True

Question 2

The effective annual rate is always greater than the simple rate as a result of compounding effects.

Answer 2

False

Question 3

When a loan is amortized, the largest portion of the periodic payment goes to reduce principal in the early years of the loan such that the accumulated interest can be spread out over the life of the loan.

Answer 3

False

Question 4

Compounding is the process of converting today's values, which are termed present value, to future value.

Question 5

The difference between the PV of an annuity due and the PV of an ordinary annuity is that each of the payments of the annuity due is discounted by one more year.

Question 6

Because we usually assume positive interest rates in time value analyses, the present value of a three-year annuity will always be less than the future value of a single lump sum, if the sum of the annuity payments equals the original lump sum investment.

Question 7

The greater the number of compounding periods within a year, the greater the future value of a lump sum invested initially, and the greater the present value of a given lump sum to be received at maturity.

Question 8

Cash flow time lines are used primarily for decisions involving paying off debt or investing in financial securities.
They cannot be used when making decisions about investments in physical assets.

Question 9

Suppose an investor can earn a steady 5% annually with investment A, while investment B will yield a constant 12% annually.Within 11 years time, the compounded value of investment B will be more than twice the compounded value of investment A (ignore risk).

Question 10

The coupon rate is the rate of return you could earn on alternative investments of similar risk.

Question 11

Solving for the interest rate associated with a stream of uneven cash flows, without the use of a calculator, usually involves a trial and error process.

Question 12

One of the potential benefits of investing early for retirement is that an investor can receive greater benefits from the compounding of interest.

Question 13

The effective annual rate is less than the simple rate when we have monthly compounding.

Question 14

An annuity is a series of equal payments made at fixed equal-length intervals for a specified number of periods.

Question 15

Given some amount to be received several years in the future, if the interest rate increases, the present value of the future amount will

A)Be higher.
B)Be lower.
C)Stay the same.
D)Cannot tell.
E)Be variable.

Question 16

A perpetuity is an annuity with perpetual payments.

Question 17

An amortized loan is a loan that requires equal payments over its life; its payments include both interest and repayment of the debt.

Question 18

Of all the techniques used in finance, the least important is the concept of the time value of money.

Question 19

The difference between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due is that each of the payments of the annuity due earns interest for one additional year (period).

Question 20

Question 23

Which of the following statements is correct?

A)For all positive values of r and n, FVIFr, n ≥ 1.0 and PVIFAr, n ≥ n.
B)You may use the PVIF tables to find the present value of an uneven series of payments.However, the PVIFA tables can never be of use, even if some of the payments constitute an annuity (for example, $100 each year for Years 3, 4, and 5), because the entire series does not constitute an annuity.
C)If a bank uses quarterly compounding for saving accounts, the simple rate will be greater than the effective annual rate.
D)The present value of a future sum decreases as either the simple interest rate or the number of discount periods per year increases.
E)All of the above statements are false.

Suppose that the present value of receiving a guaranteed $450 in two years is $385.80.The opportunity rate of return on similar risk investments is 8 percent.According to this information, all else equal, which of the following statements is correct?

A)It always would be preferable to wait two years to receive the $450 because this value is greater than the present value.
B)Risk averse investors always would prefer to take the $385.80 today because it is a guaranteed amount whereas there is uncertainty as to whether the future amount will be paid.
C)No investor should be willing to pay more than $385.80 for such an investment.
D)It is apparent the present value was computed incorrectly because the present value of a future amount always should be greater than the future value.

A)If annual compounding is used, the effective annual rate equals the simple rate.

D)Both answers a and b are correct.
E)Both answers a and c are correct.

A)The annuity due.
B)The deferred annuity.
C)Either one, because as the problem is set up, they have the same present value.
D)Without information about the appropriate interest rate, we cannot find the values of the two annuities, hence we cannot tell which is better.

Why is the present value of an amount to be received (paid) in the future less than the future amount?

A)Deflation causes investors to lose purchasing power when their dollars are invested for greater than one year.
B)Investors have the opportunity to earn positive rates of return, so any amount invested today should grow to a larger amount in the future.
C)Investments generally are not as good as those who sell them suggest, so investors usually are not willing to pay full face value for such investments, thus the price is discounted.
D)Because investors are taxed on the income received from investments they never will buy an investment for the amount expected to be received in the future.

Question 34

Alice's investment advisor is trying to convince her to purchase an investment that pays $250 per year.The investment has no maturity; therefore the $250 payment will continue every year forever.Alice has determined that her required rate of return for such an investment should be 14 percent and that she would hold the investment for 10 years and then sell it.If Alice decides to buy the investment, she would receive the first $250 payment one year from today.How much should Alice be willing to pay for this investment?

A)$1,304.03, because this is the present value of an ordinary annuity that pays $250 a year for 10 years at 14 percent.
B)$1,486.59, because this is the present value of an annuity due that pays $250 a year for 10 years at 14 percent.

Question 40

Vegit Corporation needs to borrow funds to support operations during the summer.Vegit's CFO is trying to decide whether to borrow from the Bank of Florida or the Bank of Georgia.The loan offered by Bank of Florida has a 12.5 percent simple interest rate with annual interest payments, whereas the loan offered by the Bank of Georgia has a 12 percent simple interest rate with monthly payments.Which bank should Vegit use for the loan?

A)Bank of Georgia, because the 12 percent simple interest is cheaper than the 12.5 percent simple interest at Bank of Florida.
B)Bank of Georgia, because the effective interest rate on the loan is less than 12 percent, whereas the effective interest rate on the loan at the Bank of Florida is greater than 12.5 percent.
C)Bank of Florida, because the simple interest rate is higher, which means that Vegit will be able to invest the proceeds from the loan at a higher rate of return.
D)Bank of Florida, because the effective interest rate on the loan is 12.5 percent, which is less than the 12.7 percent effective interest rate on the loan offered by the Bank of Georgia.
E)There is not enough information to answer this question.
