Time Value of Money



Time Value of Money (TVM)
Time value of money is the value of money that changes over a period of time. The value of money received today is more than its value received at a later date, which means that the value of money increases day by day. For example 100 rupees note today is more valuable than the 100 rupees after one year. The additional money along with the 100 rupees at the end of the year is called as interest or time value of money.
Suppose say am giving you two options
1.       I am offering you 1000 rupees today or
2.       I am offering you 1000 rupees after 2 years.
 What would you prefer?   
You would select 1000 rupees today and deposit the same in the bank which will give the interest amount of 1050 at the end of the 2 years.  If you ignore this concept of TVM then you will not be able to make good personal or business decision.
There are 5 models in time value of money:
1.       Future Value (FV)- It is a compounding process which means as time and our interest rate increases and  value increases

2.       Present Value(PV)- It is a discounting process which means as the  time and our interest rate increases and value decreases
3.       Future Value of Annuity(FVA)
4.       Present Value of Annuity(PVA)
Future value and present value models are used for single sum and when you have stream of payments of equal amount and equal in trouble then future value of annuity and present value of annuity models are used for time value of money amounts

5.       Loan Amortization Analysis- this is used for loan analysis
The first step in time value of money analysis is to draw a time line to clarify the analysis on hand.
                             PV                                                                         FV
                                             
                                     0          1               2              3          4                5
If you see the figure the value of money increases at equal interval of time .There are 3 variables in time value of money:
1.       Interest rates
2.       Number of periods
3.       Future value and present value
