How time impacts the value of money?
You can receive either €1,000 today or €1,000 in the future. What do you prefer? Why?
Uncertainty: You do not know what will happen tomorrow Inflation: Purchase power of €1,000 decreases with time. Opportunity cost: €1,000 can be invested today and will pay interests in the future.
Money received today is better than money received tomorrow (just save it and spend it tomorrow)

Time Value of Money: introduction
Time Value of money Financial Decision making Learning objectives
Financial decision making : analyzing costs and benefits A financial manager’s job is to make decisions that increase the value of the firm For good decisions, the benefits value exceeds the costs
Example: The world's largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, made its debut commercial flight in October 2007 with Singapore Airlines from Singapore to Sydney… Development work of the A380 began in earnest in 1993.
How did Airbus managers decide that this was a good decision? The A380 project involves revenues and expenses that will occur at different points in time, may be in a different currencies and may have different risks associated with them To make valid comparison, we must use the tools of finance to express all costs and benefits in common terms

How to measure the time value of money? If you deposit €10,000 today in a bank account paying 3% interest, you will have €10,300 at the end of one year The Time Value of Money = €10,300 - €10,000 The rate at which we can exchange money today for money in the future is determined by the current interest rate
Risk–Free Interest Rate, rf : The interest rate at which money can be borrowed or lent without risk.

Comparing costs at different points in time Problem The cost of rebuilding the San Francisco Bay Bridge to make it earthquake-safe was approximately $3 billion in Jan 2012. At the time, engineers estimated that if the project were delayed to 2013, the cost would rise by 10%. If the interest rate was 2%, what was the cost of a delay in terms of dollars in 2012? 2012

The Net Present Value Rule
Interest rate and the Time Value of Money Present Value versus Future Value The NPV decision rule Arbitrage and the Law of One Price
The NPV : a measure of value creation The net present value (NPV) of a project or investment is the difference between the present value of its benefits and the present value of its costs. NPV = PV (Benefits) – PV (Costs) NPV = PV (All project cash flows)
CFt : Project Cash Flows CF0 : Initial investment r = Discounting rate
The NPV of a project can be interpreted as the value today of the wealth that could be created by the project Projects with positive NPV are potentially value-creating projects

The NPV rule : the “golden rule” of financial decision making
When making an investment decision, take the alternative with the highest NPV. Choosing this alternative is equivalent to receiving its NPV in cash today.
Accepting or Rejecting a Project – Accept those projects with positive NPV because accepting them would create value and potentially increase the wealth of investors – Reject those projects with negative NPV because accepting them would reduce the wealth of investors.

Choosing among alternative plans Problem: suppose you started a Web site hosting business and then decided to return to school. Now that you are back in school, you are considering selling the business within the next year. An investor has offered to buy the business for €200,000 whenever you are ready. If the interest rate is 10%, which of the following three alternatives is the best? 1. Sell the business now. 2. Scale back the business and continue running it while you are in school for one more year, and then sell the business (requiring you to spent €30,000 on expenses now, but generating €50,000 in profit at the end of the year). 3. Hire someone to manage the business while you are in school for one more year, and then sell the business (requiring you to spend €50,000 on expenses now, but generating €100,000 in profit at the end of the year).

The Net Present Value Rule
Interest rate and the Time Value of Money Present Value versus Future Value The NPV decision rule Arbitrage and the Law of One Price
Introduction to the Law of One Price
Arbitrage The practice of buying and selling equivalent goods in different markets to take advantage of a price difference. An arbitrage opportunity occurs when it is possible to make a profit without taking any risk or making any investment.
Normal Market A competitive market in which there are no arbitrage opportunities.
Law of One Price If equivalent investment opportunities trade simultaneously in different competitive markets, then they must trade for the same price in both markets.

The Timeline: …may seem like a trivial task but very useful … A timeline is a linear representation of the timing of potential cash flows Example : Assume that you are lending $10,000 today and that the loan will be repaid in two annual $6,000 payments
Differentiate between two types of cash flows: • Inflows are positive cash flows. • Outflows are negative cash flows, which are indicated with a – (minus) sign.

Growing Perpetuities Problem: Endowing a Growing Perpetuity As the president of the alumni association, you planned to donate money to fund an annual €30,000 Master Graduation party. Given an interest rate of 8% per year, the required donation was €375,000 today. However, the association board asked that you increase the donation to account for the effetct of inflation on the cost of the party in future years. Although €30,000 is adequate for next year’s party, the board estimates that the party’s cost will rise by 4% per year thereafter. To satisfy their request, how much do you need to donate now?

Special cases: The Internal Return Rate (IRR) Example 2 Suppose your firm needs to puchase a new forklift with a €40,000 cash price. The dealer offers you financing with no down payment and four annual payments of €15,000. to evaluate the loan that the dealer is offering you, you will want to compare the rate on the loan with the rate that your bank is willing to offer you. Given the loan payment that the dealer quotes, how do you compute the interest rate charged by the dealer? 0
