Unit 3 - 1
This unit will discuss the meaning of time value of money, it’s
importance in our day-to-day life.
FV2 = P
Fn = P(1+i)n
Here the term (1+i)n is the compounded value factor (CVF) of a lump sum of birr 1.
The values may be directly traced from the present value tables.
The same may be written as below:
FV = P(CVFn . i)
Where: FV = Future value
P = Present value
CVFn = Compounded value factor year
Suppose you deposit Br. 55, 650 in a bank which will pay you 12 percent
interest for a period of 10 years. How much would the deposit grow at the end
of ten year?
FV = P(CVFn . i)
FV = 55, 650 (CVF10 . 12)
FV = 55, 650 (3 . 106)
= 172, 849.90
Compound value of Annuity: An annuity is a fixed payment (or receipt) each year for a
specified number of years.
Assume that a sum of birr 1 is deposited at the end of each year for four years at 6%
interest. This implies that
1(1+.06)3 1.191 Birr 1 deposited at the end of year 1 grow for 3 years.
1(1+.06)2 1.124 Birr 1 deposited at the end of year 2 grow for 2 years.
1(1+.06)1 1.06 Birr 1 deposited at the end of year 3 grow for 1 year.
1. Birr 1 deposited at the end of year 4 grow for no interest.
FV = A(CVAFn i)
FV = Future value
A = Annuity
FV = A(CVAFn i)
= 5, 000 (4.375)
= Br.21, 875
Here we proceed that to create certain sum of money, how much we have to set
aside every year for a specified period.
FV = A(CVAFn.i)

Present Value: we can calculate the present value of future earnings at a particular
rate of interest.
I) Present value of a lump sum. The present sum of money to be invested today in
order to get birr 1 at the end of year 1, 2, 3 so on and so forth at the rate of 10%
