The time value of money is a basic financial concept that holds that money in the present is worth
more than the same sum of money to be received in the future. This is true because money that you
have right now can be invested and earn a return, thus creating a larger amount of money in the future.
The time value of money is an important concept not just for individuals, but also for making business
decisions. Companies consider the time value of money in making decisions about investing in new
product development, acquiring new business equipment or facilities, and establishing credit terms for
the sale of their products or services.
1. COMPOUNDING
2. DISCOUNTING
1. COMPOUNDING:
Compounding is the process of finding out the future value of a present sum of money. It is
used to find out the terminal value of an investment. In this method, the interest due at the end
of the year is added to the principal which act as the principal for the second year.
The annual interest amount under simple interest method remains same whereas in
compounding the interest amount keeps on increasing.
Where,
F = Future Value
r = Rate of Interest
n = Years to Maturity
ILLUSTRATION 1
Calculate the future value of an amount of ₹1,00,000 borrowed at 12% for two years under;
= 24,000
Future Value = PV + SI
= 1,00,000 + 24,000
= 1,24,000
b) Compound Interest
F = P ( 𝟏 + 𝒓 )𝒏
= 1,00,000 ( 𝟏 + 𝟏𝟐/𝟏𝟎𝟎 )𝟐
= 1,00,000 ( 𝟏+. 𝟏𝟐)𝟐
= 1,00,000 * (1.12 *1.12)
= 1,00,000 * 1.2544
= 1,25,440
ILLUSTRATION 2
2. Calculate the compounded value of an investment of ₹ 10,000 invested for 3 years at 10%
interest.
If the compounding is done half yearly or quarterly or monthly or daily, such compounding is
known as multi-period compounding. In such cases, the frequency of compounding will be
more than one.

In the case of multi-period of compounding, the actual rate of interest enjoyed by the
investor is higher than the nominal rate of interest.
The rate that reflects the actual rate of interest is known as Effective Rate of Interest
(ERI) or Effective Annual Rate (EAR).
Effective rate of Interest increases with increase in frequency of compounding.
