Interest: The Cost of Money
• In financial world, money itself is a commodity.– Money costs money
• Cost of Money– measured by an interest rate
• Interest– The cost of having money available
The Time Value of Money
• Example: Buy today or buy later?
The Time Value of Money (Cont’d)
• The principle of the Time value of money– The economic value of a sum depends on when the sum is
received.
• Money has both earning power and purchasing powerover time.– A dollar received today has a greater value than a dollar
received at some future time.
• The operation of interest and the time value of money have to be considered for deciding among alternative proposals.
Elements of Transactions Involving Interest
• Types of transactions involve interest:– E.g. borrowing money, investing money, or purchasing machinery on
credit
• Common elements in transactions:– Principle (P)
• The initial amount of money invested or borrowed
– Interest rate (i)• Measures the cost or price of money• Expressed as a percentage per period of time.
– Interest period (n)• Determines how frequently interest is calculated.
– Number of interest periods (N)– A plan for receipts or disbursements (An)
• Yields a particular cash flow pattern over a specified length of time.• E.g. a series of equal monthly payments that repay a loan.
– Future amount of money (F)• Results from the cumulative effects of the interest rate over a number of
interest periods.
Example of an Interest Transaction
• An electronics manufacturing company borrows $20,000 from a bank at 9% annual interest rate to buy a machine. The company also pays a $200 loan origination fee when the loan commences.
• Two repayment plans are offered by the bank:• Principle amount, P, is $20,000.• Interest rate, i, is 9%
– Plan 1:• Interest period, n, is one year.• Duration of the transaction is five years.• Number of interest periods, N = 5
Repayment Plans Offered by the Lender

Plan 1 Plan 2
Year 0 $20,000.00 $200.00 $200.00
Year 1 5,141.85
Year 2 5,141.85
Year 3 5,141.85
Year 4 5,141.85
Year 5 5,141.85 30,772.48
Both payment plans are based on a rate of 9% interest.
– Plan 2:• A single future repayment F.
• What is it?– The flow of cash!
• End-of-period convention– The assumption of placing all cash flow transactions at the end of an
interest period
• When to use it?– Cash flow diagrams is strongly recommended for situations in which the
analyst needs to clarify or visualize what is involved when flows of money occur at various time.

Simple Interest
• The total interest earned is linearly proportional to the principal (loan).
• The interest do not accumulate– Mathematically,
where P = PrincipleN = number of periods (e.g. year)i = interest rate per interest period
– Question:• How much interest we need to pay if we have borrowed $1000 for 3
years with an annual interest rate of 10%?
))()(( iNPI =
Compound Interest
• The interest earned for any period is based on the remaining principal amount plus any accumulated interest charges up to the beginning of that period.– Mathematically,
– Question:• What is the interest we need to pay if we have borrowed $1000 for 3
years with an annual interest rate of 10%?

Economic Equivalence
• Consider the following two option:– (a) Receive $20,000 today, and $50,000 ten years from now– (b) Receive $8,000 each year for the next 10 yearsWhich one to choose?
Economic Equivalence (Cont’d)
• Economic equivalence exists between cash flows that have the same economic effect, and could therefore be traded for one another.
• Economic equivalence refers to the fact that a cash flow – whether a single payment or a series of payments – can be converted to an equivalent cash flow at any point in time.
• Even though the amounts and timing of the cash flows may differ,the appropriate interest rate makes them equal.
Economic Equivalence (Cont’d)
• Comparison of alternatives– Compare the value of alternatives by finding the equivalent value
of alternatives at any common point in time
• Using compound interest to establish economic equivalence:
Economic Equivalence (Cont’d)
• A simple example– We invest $1,000 at 12% annual interest for five years– At the end of the investment period, our sums grow to:
– We could trade $1,000 now for the promise of receiving $1,762.34 in five years.

More About the Formulas
• For most of the problems, they are very complex, and we have to “combine the formulas” and “reformulate the cash flow diagram” to solve these problems.– That’s why cash flow diagram is very useful.
Investment Plan
• A father, on the day his son is born, wishes to determine what amount would have to be put into an account with 12% interest rate, so that he can withdraw $2,000 during his son’s 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st birthdays.

4% cash rebate
– Bank 2: • (P – 2.125%) for the fist 3 years +
(P – 1.75%) for the rest of the time + $5,000 administrative fee
– Bank 3:• (P – 2%) for the whole duration
– Developer:• (P – 2%) for the whole duration for the first 70% of the price +
(P + 2%) for the rest of the purchasing price + first ten years are interest fee
Which plan should you choose (Borrow $3,000,000)?
Two Saving Plans
• Plan 1:– You have to deposit $1,000 each year for 15 years. The annual
interest rate is 10%. You can take your money out when you are 65. You can join this plan when you are 22.
• Plan 2:– You have to deposit $2,000 each year when you are 32 until 65.
The annual interest rate is 10%.
Answer: $504,010 versus $444,500!

Geometric Gradient Series – An Example
• Suppose the retirement pension is $50,000 each year and • the cost of living increases at an annual rate of 5% due to inflation,
• what is the additional savings required to meet the future increase in cost of living over 35 years? (interest rate at 7%).
