Financial management: Lecture 3

Time value of money

Some important concepts


Today’s agenda Review of what we have learned in the last lecture Discuss the concept of the time value of money

• present value (PV)• discount rate (r)• net present value (NPV)

Learn how to draw cash flows of projects Learn how to calculate the present value of annuities Learn how to calculate the present value of

perpetuities Inflation, real interest rates and nominal interest

rates, and their relationship


What have we learned in the last lecture

Three types of business organization and their characteristics

Three types of financial managers The goal of corporation and agency problem The motivation for the study of the financial

market The seven functions of a financial market The cost of capital


Financial choices

Which would you rather receive today?

• TRL 1,000,000,000 ( one billion Turkish lira )

• USD 850 ( U.S. dollars ) Both payments are absolutely

guaranteed. What do we do?


Financial choices

We need to compare “apples to apples” - this means we need to get the TRL:USD exchange rate

From www.bloomberg.com we can see:

• USD 1 = TRL 1,594,500 Therefore TRL 1bn = USD 627


Financial choices with time

Which would you rather receive?• $1000 today

• $1200 in one year

Both payments have no risk, that is, • there is 100% probability that you will be paid

• there is 0% probability that you won’t be paid


Financial choices with time (2)

Why is it hard to compare ?• $1000 today

• $1200 in one year This is not an “apples to apples” comparison.

They have different units $100 today is different from $100 in one year Why?

• A cash flow is time-dated money• It has a money unit such as USD or TRL

• It has a date indicating when to receive money


Present value

In order to have an “apple to apple” comparison, we convert future payments to the present values• this is like converting money in TRL to money in USD

• Certainly, we can also convert the present value to the future value to compare payments we get today with payments we get in the future.

• Although these two ways are theoretically the same, but the present value way is more important and has more applications, as to be shown in stock and bond valuations.


Present value (2)

The formula for converting future cash flows or payments:

= present value at time zero = cash flow in the future (in year t)

= discount rate for the cash flow in year t

Present value of multiple cash flows For a cash flow received in year one and a

cash flow received in year two, different discount rates must be used.

The present value of these two cash flows is the sum of the present value of each cash flow, since two present value have the same unit: time zero USD.

Projects

A “project” is a term that is used to describe the following activity:• spend some money today

• receive cash flows in the future A stylized way to draw project cash flows is

as follows:

Initial investment(negative cash flows)

Expected cash flows in year one (probably positive)

Expected cash flows in year two (probably positive)


Examples of projects An entrepreneur starts a company:

• initial investment is negative cash outflow.

• future net revenue is cash inflow . An investor buys a share of IBM stock

• cost is cash outflow; dividends are future cash inflows. A lottery ticket:

• investment cost: cash outflow of $1

• jackpot: cash inflow of $20,000,000 (with some very small probability…)

Thus projects can range from real investments, to financial investments, to gambles (the lottery ticket).


Firms or companies

A firm or company can be regarded as a set of projects.• capital budgeting is about choosing the best

projects in real asset investments.

How do we know one project is worth taking?


Net present value

A net present value (NPV) is the sum of the initial investment (usually made at time zero) and the PV of expected future cash flows.

Example 1 John got his MBA from SFSU. When he was interviewed by a

big firm, the interviewer asked him the following question: A project costs 10 m and produces future cash flows, as shown

in the next slide, where cash flows depend on the state of the economy.

In a “boom economy” payoffs will be high• over the next three years, there is a 20% chance of a boom

• In a “normal economy” payoffs will be medium• over the next three years, there is a 50% chance of normal

In a “recession” payoffs will be low• over the next 3 years, there is a 30% chance of a recession

In all three states, the discount rate is 8% over all time horizons.

Tell me whether to take the project or not

Example 1 (continues)

The interviewer then asked John:• Before you tell me the final decision, how do

you calculate the NPV?• Should you calculate the NPV at each economy or

take the average first and then calculate NPV

• Can your conclusion be generalized to any situations?


Calculate the NPV at each economy

In the boom economy, the NPV is• -10+ 8/1.08 + 3/1.082 + 3/1.083=$2.36

In the average economy, the NPV is• -10+ 7/1.08 + 2/1.082 + 1.5/1.083=-$0.613

In the bust economy, the NPV is • -10+ 6/1.08 + 1/1.082 + 0.9/1.083 =-$2.87The expected NPV is 0.2*2.36+0.5*(-.613)+0.3*(-2.87)=-$0.696


Calculate the expected cash flows at each time

At period 1, the expected cash flow is• C1=0.2*8+0.5*7+0.3*6=$6.9

At period 2, the expected cash flow is• C2=0.2*3+0.5*2+0.3*1=$1.9

At period 3, the expected cash flows is• C3=0.2*3+0.5*1.5+0.3*0.9=$1.62

The NPV is• NPV=-10+6.9/1.08+1.9/1.082+1.62/1.083

• =-$0.696


Perpetuities We are going to look at the PV of a perpetuity starting one year from

now. Definition: if a project makes a level, periodic payment into perpetuity,

it is called a perpetuity. Let’s suppose your friend promises to pay you $1 every year, starting

in one year. His future family will continue to pay you and your future family forever. The discount rate is assumed to be constant at 8.5%. How much is this promise worth?

Calculate the PV of the perpetuity

Consider the perpetuity of one dollar every period your friend promises to pay you. The interest rate or discount rate is 8.5%.

Then PV =1/0.085=$11.765, not a big gift.

Perpetuity (alternative method)

What is the PV of a perpetuity that pays $C every year, starting in year t+1, at constant discount rate “r”?• Alternative method: we can think of PV of a perpetuity

starting year t+1. The normal formula gives us the value AS OF year “t”. We then need to discount this value to account for periods “1 to t”

Annuities

Well, a project might not pay you forever. Instead, consider a project that promises to pay you $C every year, for the next “T” years. This is called an annuity.

Example for annuities

you win the million dollar lottery! but wait, you will actually get paid $50,000 per year for the next 20 years if the discount rate is a constant 7% and the first payment will be in one year, how much have you actually won (in PV-terms) ?

Lottery example

Paper reports: Today’s JACKPOT = $20mm !!• paid in 20 annual equal installments.

• payment are tax-free.

• odds of winning the lottery is 13mm:1

Should you invest $1 for a ticket?• assume the risk-adjusted discount rate is 8%


My solution

Should you invest ? Step1: calculate the PV

Step 2: get the expectation of the PV

Mortgage-style loans

Suppose you take a $20,000 3-yr car loan with “mortgage style payments”• annual payments

• interest rate is 7.5% “Mortgage style” loans have two main

features:• They require the borrower to make the same payment

every period (in this case, every year)

• The are fully amortizing (the loan is completely paid off by the end of the last period)


Mortgage-style loans

The best way to deal with mortgage-style loans is to make a “loan amortization schedule”

The schedule tells both the borrower and lender exactly:• what the loan balance is each period (in this case -

year)

• how much interest is due each year ? ( 7.5% )

• what the total payment is each period (year) Can you use what you have learned to figure

out this schedule?

Inflation

What is inflation? What is the real interest rate? What is the nominal interest rate?


Be consistent in how you handle inflation!! Use nominal interest rates to discount

nominal cash flows. Use real interest rates to discount real cash

flows. You will get the same results, whether you

use nominal or real figures

Inflation rule


Example

You own a lease that will cost you $8,000 next year, increasing at 3% a year (the forecasted inflation rate) for 3 additional years (4 years total). If discount rates are 10% what is the present value cost of the lease?

1 real interest rate = 1+nominal interest rate1+inflation rate
