The interest rate (discount rate) that the bank pays is 7%. What is the present value of your bank account today? What would the present value of the account be if the discount rate is only 4%? The present value for a bank account that is worth $15, 000 in one year at an interest rate of 7% will be $14019.00. Using the Present Value Factors Table for a period of one year at a 7% rate value factor is .9346. $15, 000 x .9346= $14019.00 worth in value. The present value for a bank account that is worth $15, 000 in one year at an interest rate of 4% will be $14422.50.

...Difficulties of the NPV-method The Net Present Value (NPV) is a method to compare the value of an investment now and that amount in the future, taking into account the cost of capital and the cash flows generated by the investment. The formula to calculate the NPV is as follows: With t as the time of cashflow, i the discount rate and R the net cashflows. Although the formula to calculate the NPV is straightforward and takes into account the value of a cashflow (money) over time, there still is a lot of information that is up to discussion, to which numbers to use. The short comic below gives an idea: One of the umbers that is most easy to calculate is the investment, which is not more than a number. However, from that moment on all are just assumptions. An assumption of the future cash flows that will be generated and the discount rate of cost of capital. Let me use the example of the initial public offering of Twitter, for which the Financial Times has made a simplistic tool to calculate the market value of the company (http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/8ae5045c-4159-11e3-b064-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2lynPs27Z). Now, this short analysis does not have the goal to critique the tool, I merely use it to show what a different cost of capital can do with the ‘’market value of the company’’. A cost of capital of 10% will give an enterprise value of 23.1 billion dollar, while a cost of capital of 12% will give an enterprise value of 15.4 billion dollar. A discounted cash...

...In finance, the net present value (NPV) or net present worth (NPW)[1] of a time series of cash flows, both incoming and outgoing, is defined as the sum of the present values (PVs) of the individual cash flows of the same entity. In the case when all future cash flows are incoming (such as coupons and principal of a bond) and the only outflow of cash is the purchase price, the NPV is simply the PV of future cash flows minus the purchase price (which is its own PV). NPV is a central tool in discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis and is a standard method for using the time value of money to appraise long-term projects. Used for capital budgeting and widely used throughout economics, finance, and accounting, it measures the excess or shortfall of cash flows, in present value terms, once financing charges are met. NPV can be described as the “difference amount” between the sums of discounted: cash inflows and cash outflows. It compares the present value of money today to the present value of money in future, taking inflation and returns into account The NPV of a sequence of cash flows takes as input the cash flows and a discount rate or discount curve and outputs a price; the converse process in DCF analysis — taking a sequence of cash flows and a price as input and inferring as output a discount rate (the discount rate which would yield the given price as NPV) — is called the yield and is more widely used in bond...

...Present value is where the value on a set date of a future payment is discounted to reflect the time value of money and other factors. This can also apply to a series of future payments. Present value calculations are commonly utilized in business and economics to provide a way to compare cash flows at different times. Present value can be described as the current worth of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return. (http://www.getobjects.com) Future cash flows are discounted at the discount rate. The higher the discounted rate, the lower the present value of the future cash flows. Determining what the appropriate discount rate is, is important to correctly place value future cash flows. The Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity is the value of a stream of promised or expected future payments that have been discounted to a single equivalent value today. It is extremely useful for comparing two separate cash flows that differ in some way. Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity can also be looked at as the amount you have to invest today at a specific interest rate so that when you withdraw an equal amount each period, the original principal and all accumulated interest will be completely used at the end of the annuity. Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity= Payment [(1 - (1 / (1 + Discount Rate per period)number of periods)) / Discount Rate Per Period] Future value measures the nominal future sum of money that a given sum of money is "worth"...

...Net present Value, Mergers and acquisitions FIN501 - Strategic Corporate Finance Net present Value, Mergers and acquisitions To start I would like to explain the difference and meaning of the present value of the future cash flows from an investment and the amount of investment. Present value of the expected cash flows is computed by discounting them at the required rate of return. For example, an investment of $1,000 today at 10 percent will yield $1,100 at the end of the year; therefore, the present value of $1,100 at the desired rate of return (10 percent) is $1,000. The amount of investment ($1,000 in this example) is deducted from this figure to arrive at net present value which here is zero ($1,000-$1,000). A zero net present value means the project repays original investment plus the required rate of return. A positive net present value means a better return, and a negative net present value means a worse return, than the return from zero net present value. It is one of the two discounted cash flow techniques (the other is internal rate of return) used in comparative appraisal of investment proposals where the flow of income varies over time (BusinessDictionary.com, 2013). Part I: Given that Google's cost of capital (discount rate) is 11%, below is the projected net present value using the following data which was provided; Year Cash Flow, (0) -$2,425,000, (1) 450,000, (2) 639,000, (3) 700,000, (4) 550,000, (5) 1,850,000.

...You have been asked to support analysis of acquisition decisions involving net present value analysis. 1. You are analyzing the net present value of a project over a 16 year period. Based on the rates in the textbook, what is the actual discount rate you would use given that your analysis must consider the effects of inflation/deflation? In analyzing the pet present value of a project over a 16 year period, the inflation rate must be included in the computation of the discount rate to be used. This means that the nominal rate be adjusted for the inflation rate to arrive at the real interest rate which is then used as the discount rate. 2. What is the present value of $25,000 that you will receive at the end of two years? Given that there was no information provided for the discount rate, I assumed a discount rate of 10%, hence Present value of $25,000 to be received 2 years from now = $25,000/[(1+10%)^2] = $20,661.16 3.

...budgeting, referred to as Net Present Value analysis(NPV). This concept evaluates a capital investment project measuring the difference between its cost and the present value of its expected cash flows (Parrino et al. 2014, p.339). More simply, the NPV tell us the amount by which the benefits from a capital expenditure exceed its costs (Parrino et al. 2014, p.339). Along with any valuation method for a capital project are associated advantages and disadvantages essential to determining its relevance when compared with other methods of analysis. The advantages of NPV include, but are not limited to: the inclusion and importance of the 'time value of money (Accounting-Management 2014),' consideration of cash flows before, during and after a business venture, consistency with financial management goals and the high priority of profitability and risk involved in capital investment (Accounting-Management 2014). The inclusion of the time value of money is the most notable advantage of NPV supported by the notion, 'a dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future (Investopedia 2014).' Present currency holds more value due to three reasons, accruing interest on investments, future money is subject to inflation and finally there is always the risk of not receiving promised money (Investopedia 2014). An organisation is unlikely to want to invest in a project that does not create a positive return therefore knowledge of what the project is worth in the present holds great importance...
