Chapter Outline Multiple Cash Flows – FV Example 5.1

• Find the value at year 3 of each cash
• Future and Present Values of Multiple flow and add them together.
Cash Flows – Today (year 0): FV = $7,000(1.08)3 =
$8,817.98
• Valuing Level Cash Flows: Annuities and
– Year 1: FV = $4,000(1.08)2 = $4,665.60
Perpetuities
– Year 2: FV = $4,000(1.08) = $4,320
• Comparing Rates: The Effect of – Year 3: value = $4,000
Compounding Periods – Total value in 3 years = $8,817.98 +
• Loan Types and Loan Amortization 4,665.60 + 4,320 + 4,000 = $21,803.58
• Value at year 4 = $21,803.58(1.08) =
$23,547.87

in two years? FV = $500(1.09)5 + $600(1.09)4 = $1,616.26

FV = $1,248.05(1.09)3 = $1,616.26

Annuities and Perpetuities

Quick Quiz: Part 1
• Suppose you are looking at the following Defined
possible cash flows: Year 1 CF = $100; • Annuity – finite series of equal payments
Years 2 and 3 CFs = $200; Years 4 and 5 that occur at regular intervals
CFs = $300. The required discount rate is – If the first payment occurs at the end of the
7% period, it is called an ordinary annuity
• What is the value of the cash flows at year – If the first payment occurs at the beginning of
5? the period, it is called an annuity due
