Time Value of Money
Money has a time value

because it can earn more
money over time (earning
power).
Money has a time value
because its purchasing
power changes over time
(inflation).
Time value of money is
measured in terms of
interest rate.
Interest is the cost of
moneya cost to the
borrower and an earning to
the lender
This a two-edged sword whereby earning

grows, but purchasing power decreases
(due to inflation), as time goes by.

Problem Statement
If you deposit $100 now (n = 0) and $200 two
years from now (n = 2) in a savings account
that pays 10% interest, how much would you
have at the end of year 10?

Economic Equivalence
Lecture No.5

Economic Equivalence
Economic equivalence exists between cash

flows that have the same economic effect
and could therefore be traded for one
another.
Even though the amounts and timing of the
cash flows may differ, the appropriate interest
rate makes them equal.
