2009 Copyright © 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc Time Value of Money: Future Value and Present Value The following discussion of future value lays the foundation for our explanation of present value in Chapter but is not essential For the valuation of long-term liabilities, some instructors may wish to begin on page 781 of this appendix The term time value of money refers to the fact that money earns interest over time Interest is the cost of using money To borrowers, interest is the expense of renting money To lenders, interest is the revenue earned from lending We must always recognize the interest we receive or pay Otherwise, we overlook an important part of the transaction Suppose you invest $4,545 in corporate bonds that pay 10% interest each year After year, the value of your investment has grown to $5,000 The difference between your original investment ($4,545) and the future value of the investment ($5,000) is the amount of interest revenue you will earn during the year ($455) If you ignored the interest, you would fail to account for the interest revenue you have earned Interest becomes more important as the time period lengthens because the amount of interest depends on the span of time the money is invested Let’s consider a second example, this time from the borrower’s perspective Suppose you purchase a machine for your business The cash price of the machine is $8,000, but you cannot pay cash now To finance the purchase, you sign an $8,000 note payable The note requires you to pay the $8,000 plus 10% interest year from the date of purchase Is your cost of the machine $8,000, or is it $8,800 [$8,000 plus interest of $800 ($8,000 × 10)]? The cost is $8,000 The additional $800 is interest expense and not part of the cost of the machine Future Value The main application of future value is the accumulated balance of an investment at a future date In our first example above, the investment earned 10% per year After year, $4,545 grew to $5,000, as shown in Exhibit C-1 If the money were invested for years, you would have to perform such calculations You would also have to consider the compound interest that your investment is earning Compound interest is not only the interest you earn on your principal amount, but also the interest you receive on the interest you have already earned Most business applications include compound interest The following table shows the interest revenue earned on the original $4,545 investment each year for years at 10%: ... believes it? ?s worth The cost principle also holds that accounting records should maintain historical costs for as long as the business holds the asset Why? Because cost is a reliable measure Suppose...
