Chapter 6: Time Value of Money Concepts
Time value of money concepts, specifically future value and present value, are essential in a variety of accounting situations. These concepts and the related computational procedures are the subjects of this chapter. Present values and future values of single amounts and present values and future values of annuities (series of equal periodic payments) are described separately but shown to be interrelated.

2. Interest amount = P × i × n
Simple Interest
Interest amount = P × i × n
Assume you invest $1,000 at 6% simple interest for 3 years.
You would earn $180 interest.
($1,000 × .06 × 3 = $180)
(or $60 each year for 3 years)
The time value of money means that money can be invested today to earn interest and grow to a larger dollar amount in the future. Time value of money concepts are useful in valuing several assets and liabilities. Interest is the amount of money paid or received in excess of the amount borrowed or lent.
Simple interest is computed by multiplying an initial investment times both the applicable interest rate and the period of time for which the money is used.
Assume you invest $1,000 at 6% simple interest for 3 years. You would earn $180 interest.

3. Compound Interest
Assume we deposit $1,000 in a bank that earns 6% interest compounded annually.
Compound interest includes interest not only on the initial investment but also on the accumulated interest in previous periods.
Assume we deposit $1,000 in a bank that earns 6% interest compounded annually. What is the balance in our account at the end of three years?
What is the balance in
our account at the
end of three years?

4. Compound Interest
Each year we earn interest on the initial investment amount plus any previously earned interest. As a result, at the end of the three years, we have a total of $1,

5. Future Value of a Single Amount
The future value of a single amount is the amount of money that a dollar will grow to at some point in the future.
Assume we deposit $1,000 for three years that earns 6% interest compounded annually.
$1, × = $1,060.00
and
$1, × = $1,123.60
$1, × = $1,191.02
The future value of a single amount is the amount of money that a dollar will grow to at some point in the future.
Recall our previous example where we assume we deposit $1,000 for three years that earns 6% interest compounded annually.

6. Future Value of a Single Amount
Writing in a more efficient way, we can say
$1, = $1,000 × [1.06]3
Number
of Compounding Periods
FV = PV (1 + i)n
Writing in a more efficient way, we can say $1,000 times 1.06 to the 3rd power. In fact, the future value of any invested amount can be determined using the concise formula shown on the screen: PV times 1 plus the interest rate raised to the power of the number of compounding periods.

7. Future Value of a Single Amount
Using the Future Value of $1 Table, we find the factor for 6% and 3 periods is
So, we can solve our problem like this. . .
FV = $1,000 ×
FV = $1,191.02
Another way to find the future value is to use tables that contain the future value of $1 invested for various periods of time and at various interest rates. Table 1 in your textbook is the Future Value of $1 table.
Using the Future Value of $1 Table, we find the factor for 6% and 3 periods is To solve our problem, we just multiply $1,000 times the table factor of

8. Present Value of a Single Amount
Instead of asking what is the future value of a current amount, we might want to know what amount we must invest today to accumulate a known future amount.
This is a present value question.
Present value of a single amount is today’s equivalent to a particular amount in the future.
Instead of asking what is the future value of a current amount, we might want to know what amount we must invest today to accumulate a known future amount.
This is a present value question.
A present value of a single amount is today’s equivalent to a particular amount in the future.

9. Present Value of a Single Amount
Remember our equation?
FV = PV (1 + i) n
We can solve for PV and get
Using our previous equation for future value, we can solve for present value by dividing the future value by 1 plus the interest rate raised to the number of compounding periods. Another way to solve for the present value is to use the Present Value of $1 table in your textbook. In your textbook, Table 2 is the Present Value of $1 table. Does the format look familiar? FV
(1 + i)n
PV =

10. Present Value of a Single Amount
Assume you plan to buy a new car in 5 years and you think it will cost $20,000 at that time.
What amount must you invest today in order to accumulate $20,000 in 5 years, if you can earn 8% interest compounded annually?
Assume you plan to buy a new car in 5 years and you think it will cost $20,000 at that time.
What amount must you invest today in order to accumulate $20,000 in 5 years, if you can earn 8% interest compounded annually?

11. Present Value of a Single Amount
Present Value Factor =
$20,000 × = $13,611.60
Present Value of $1 Table
To solve this question, we multiply the future value of $20,000 by the present value factor for 8% for 5 periods (.68058) from the present value of $1 Table.
If you deposit $13, now, at 8% annual interest, you will have $20,000 at the end of 5 years.
If you deposit $13, now, at 8% annual interest, you will have $20,000 at the end of 5 years.

13. Determining the Unknown Interest Rate
Suppose a friend wants to borrow $1,000 today and promises to repay you $1,092 two years from now. What is the annual interest rate you would be agreeing to?
a. 3.5%
b. 4.0%
c. 4.5%
d. 5.0%
Present Value of $1 Table
$1,000 = $1,092 × ?
$1,000 ÷ $1,092 =
Search the PV of $1 table
in row 2 (n=2) for this value.
Part I
Suppose a friend wants to borrow $1,000 today and promises to repay you $1,092 two years from now. What is the annual interest rate you would be agreeing to?
Part II
First, we must determine the present value factor we are looking to find. We divide the present value by the future value and find a factor of Using the present value table, we look for this factor in row 2 since the loan period in this example is for 2 years. This leads us to the answer which is 4.5%.

14. Accounting Applications of Present Value Techniques—Single Cash Amount
Some notes do not include a stated interest rate. We call these notes noninterest-bearing notes.
Even though the agreement states it is a noninterest-bearing note, the note does, in fact, include interest.
Some notes do not include a stated interest rate. We call these notes noninterest-bearing notes.
However, even though the agreement states it is a noninterest-bearing note, the note does, in fact, include interest. (No one will loan you money interest free except, perhaps, your parents!) For these noninterest-bearing notes, we impute an appropriate interest rate .
We impute an appropriate interest rate for noninterest-bearing notes.

15. Expected Cash Flow Approach
Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 7
“Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements”
The objective of valuing an asset or liability using present value is to approximate the fair value of that asset or liability.
Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts Number 7, “Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements,” provides a framework for using future cash flows in accounting measurements. The objective of valuing an asset or liability using present value is to approximate the fair value of that asset or liability. This new expected cash flow approach incorporates specific probabilities of cash flows into the analysis. The expected cash flow is multiplied by the company’s credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest to arrive at the present value.

Calculate the Present Value of the Annuity Payments (Interest)
Part I
When determining the present value of bonds, we must consider two cash flow streams:
1. Calculate the Present Value of the Lump-sum Maturity Payment (Face Value).
2. Calculate the Present Value of the Annuity Payments (Interest).
On June 30, 2011, Ebsen Electric issued 10% stated rate bonds with a face value of $1 million. The bonds mature in 5 years. The market rate of interest for similar issues was 12%. Interest is paid semiannually beginning on December 31, What is the price of the bond issue?
Part II
To determine the present value of the face value of bonds, we use the Present Value of $1 table.
To determine the present value of the interest payments, we use the Present Value of Ordinary Annuity of $1 table.
By adding together these two present value amounts, we arrive at the present value, or selling price, of the bonds of $926,405.

The lease agreement calls for annual payments of $25,000 for 20 years beginning on January 1, The appropriate rate of interest for this long-term lease is 8%. Calculate the value of the asset acquired and the liability assumed by Todd (the present value of an annuity due at 8% for 20 years).
On January 1, 2011, Todd Furniture Company signed a 20-year non-cancelable lease for a new retail showroom. The lease agreement calls for annual payments of $25,000 for 20 years beginning on January 1, The appropriate rate of interest for this long-term lease is 8%. Calculate the value of the asset acquired and the liability assumed by Todd (the present value of an annuity due at 8% for 20 years). The nature of this lease requires it to be treated in a manner similar to an installment purchase.
Since the first lease payment occurs at the beginning of the first year, this is an annuity due. To solve this problem, we need to find the interest factor from the Present Value of Annuity Due of $1 Table at the intersection of the 25th row and the 8% column. The present value of this annuity due is $265,090.

39. Valuation of Pension Obligations
Some pension plans create obligations during employees’ service periods that must be paid during their retirement periods. The amounts contributed during the employment period are determined using present value computations of the estimate of the future amount to be paid during retirement.
