Concept ClarificationMoney value changes because of interest rate. Other factors like inflation are ignored.

Concept ClarificationStudents often forget to include cash outflow items in Net present value calculations.

4. Peter is thinking to purchase a machine to enhance productivity for two years.Thepurchasecostofmachine is$100,000. Itcangenerateextracashinflowattheendofeachyearasfollows:

$ Year 1 30,000 Year 2 20,000

At the end of year 2, Peter can sell the machine at $60,000. Given that the rate of return is 10%, calculate the net present value (NPV) of the project.

Net present value

= – 100,000 × 1

(1 + 10%)1 + 30,000 × 1

(1 + 10%)2 + (80,000) × 1

(1+10%)3

Net present value

= – 100,000 × 1 + 30,000 × 1

(1 + 10%)1 + (80,000) × 1

(1 + 10%)2

Concept ClarificationStudents often make mistakes in counting of year.The machine was bought at the beginning (Year 0). • Year 0 means current year. The discount factor = 1 (No discount)

• Year 1 means at the end of Year 1. The discount factor = 1

(1 + 10%)1

• Year 2 means at the end of Year 2. The discount factor = 1

Section2 Capture Star Notes

2 Present value, future value and compounding

• Future value = Present value × (1 + r%)n

[r% is interest rate for one period, n is number of periods]

• The process of finding future value from present value is called compounding.

1 Time value of money

• Moneyvaluechangeswithtime.Forexample, ifweput$100intothebank account with interest rate of 10% per annum. $100 will become $100 × (1 + 10%) = $110 one year later.

• We consider time value of money because of interest rate.

DSE Tips • In DSE syllabus, money value changes because of interest rate. Other

factors like inflation are ignored. • Interest rate = Rate of return = Cost of capital • per annum = per year = yearly (short form is p.a.)

Example 1

Peterdeposited$1,000 intoabankaccountwith fixed interest rate8%compounded yearly. What is the amount he could withdraw? (Answer to the nearest dollar)

(a) One year later(b) Two years later(c) Three years later

Answer

(a) Amount = $1,000 × (1 + 8%)1 = $1,080(b) Amount = $1,000 × (1 + 8%)2 = $1,166(c) Amount = $1,000 × (1 + 8%)3 = $1,260
