CHAPTER 5 Time Value of Money 2: ANALYZING ANNUITY CASH FLOWS

Questions
LG1

5-1 How can you add a cash flow in year two and a cash flow in year four in year seven?
To add cash flows, they need to be moved to the same time period. The cash flows in years
two and four should be moved forward with interest to year seven, then they can be added
together.

LG2

5-2 People can become millionaires in their retirement years quite easily if they start saving
early in employer 401(k) or 403(b) programs (or even if their employers dont offer such
programs). Demonstrate the growth of a $250 monthly contribution for 40 years earning 9
percent APR.
Using equation 5-2, we have:
FVA 40 250

LG3

1 0.09 / 12 480 1 $1,170,330.07

0.09/12

5-3 When you discount multiple cash flows, how does the future period that a cash flow is
paid affect its present value and its contribution to the value of all the cash flows?
Discounting reduces a future cash flow to a smaller present value. Cash flows far into the
future become very small when discounted to the present. Thus, cash flows in distant future
periods have small impacts on present values.

LG4

5-4 How can you use the present value of an annuity concept to determine the price of a
house you can afford?
Mortgages are typically for a large enough amount of money that borrowing is required to
purchase a home. The amount that one can afford for a home is a function of their current
state of wealth. Mortgages allow consumers to spread the expense of a home over a longer
period, typically 15 or 30 years. This allows consumers to put a smaller portion of wealth
into the home (for example, a 20% down payment) and borrow the balance over the life of
the loan. Due to the effect of annuity compounding, the payments for such a long lived debt
make the monthly payments of a manageable nature so that they can be paid from current
income.

LG5

5-5 Since perpetuity payments continue for ever, how can a present value be computed?
Why isnt the present value infinite?

5-1

Chapter 5, Solutions

Cornett, Adair, and Nofsinger

Equation 5-5 is used to calculate the present value of a perpetuity. It is a limiting version of
equation 5-4 in which the period N grows infinitely large. As this occurs the expression
following the 1 in equation 5-4 drives to the value 0 and the numerator simply become
1. The present value is not infinite since the terms following the PMT in equation 5-4
converge to a finite limit of 1/i. This also demonstrates how payments far into the future
have infinitesimal value today.
LG6

5-6 Explain why you use the same adjustment factor, (1 + i), when you adjust annuity due
payments for both future value and present value.
Adjusting an annuity due calculation involves shifting the entire series of payments forward
one period. This is accomplished by multiplying by (1 + i) irrespective of whether it is a
future value or present value calculation.

LG7

5-7 Use the idea of compound interest to explain why EAR is larger than APR.
The annual percentage rate does not take into account the frequency of interest
compounding. Equation 5-8 illustrates the conversion from APR to EAR. The effective
annual rate converts the annual percentage rate to a rate that can be compared to other
annual rates.

LG8

5-8 Would you rather pay $10,000 for a five year $2,500 annuity or a ten-year $1,250
annuity? Why?
The effective annual rates for these two payment streams are 7.93% and 4.28% respectively.
I would rather pay $10,000 for a five year $2,500 annuity as it earns a higher effective
annual rate of interest.

LG9

5-9 The interest on your home mortgage is tax deductible. Why are the early years of the
mortgage more helpful in reducing taxes than in the later years?
Mortgage payments at the beginning of the amortization schedule are predominantly interest
with little principal. In later years, interest payments decline and principal payments make
up an ever increasing part of the payments. Thus, the tax deductible part (the interest
payment) is larger in the beginning years.

LG10 5-10 How can you use the concepts illustrated in computing the number of payments in an
annuity to figure how to pay off a credit card balance? How does the magnitude of the
payment impact the number of months?
Utilizing equation 5-2, you can declare the present balance for the credit card and set that
equal to the PVA. The interest can be obtained as an APR and converted to and EAR using
equation 5-8. This is the value to put into i in equation 5-2. You then decide when you
want to have the credit card paid off and convert this to a monthly value of N in equation 5-

5-2

2. Solving for PMT will yield the amount needed to pay the credit card off in the time
frame you desire, assuming that no additional charges are made to the credit card and that
the interest rate remains level.

can receive $500 cash back on the purchase, or a 3 percent APR, 4-year loan. The price of
the car is $15,000 and you could obtain a 4-year loan from your credit union, at 7 percent
APR. Which deal is cheaper?
Compare two cases. The first case is to elect the 3% APR and fully finance $15,000 over 48
months. Using equation 5-9, the payment under this scenario would be:

The second case is to take the $500 cash back, apply it to the purchase and finance only

PMT48 14,500

Retirement Income Calculators
The Internet provides some excellent retirement income calculators. You can find one by
Googling retirement income calculator. Many of the calculators allow you to determine
your predicted annual income from a retirement nest egg under different assumptions. For
example, you can spend only the investment income generated from the nest egg. Most
retirees try not to touch the principal. Or, you can spend both the income and the nest egg
itself. These calculators let you input the size of the retirement wealth and the investment
return to be earned. They then make time value computations to determine the annual
income the nest egg will provide.
Go to a retirement income calculator like the one at MSN Money. Use the calculator to
create a retirement scenario. Use the TVM equations or a financial calculator to check the
Internet results.

interest owed (compounded monthly) accrues and is added to the balance of the loan.
Stafford loan limits:
Freshman
$2,625
Sophomore $3,500
Junior
$5,500
Senior
$5,500
After graduation, Gavin gets a six month grace period. This means that monthly payments
are still not required, but interest is still accruing. After the grace period, the standard
repayment plan is to amortize the debt using monthly payments for 10 years.

b. What will be the loan balance when Gavin graduates after his fourth year of school?
c. What is the loan balance six months after graduation?
d. Using the standard repayment plan and a 6.8 percent APR interest rate, compute the
monthly payments Gavin owes after the grace period.

b. What will be the loan balance when Gavin graduates after his fourth year of school?
Each payment needs to be moved forward with 6.8% interest to the middle of years 4 and 5
to calculate the outstanding accrued loan balance as of the date payments are set to begin:
FV4 = $2,625 (1.068)4 + $3,500 (1.068)3 + $5,500 (1.068)2 + $5,500 (1.068)1
FV4 = $3,415.19 + $4,263.65 + $6,273.43 + $5,874.00 = $19,826.27
c. What is the loan balance six months after graduation?
Each payment needs to be moved forward with 6.8% interest to the middle of years 4 and 5
to calculate the outstanding accrued loan balance as of the date payments are set to begin:
FV4.5= $2,625 (1.068)4.5 + $3,500 (1.068)3.5 + $5,500 (1.068)2.5 + $5,500 (1.068)1.5
FV4.5= $3,529.39 + $4,406.23 + $6,483.22 + $6,070.43 = $20,489.27
Note, this can be checked by multiplying $19,826.27 by 1.0680.5.
d. Using the standard repayment plan and a 6.8 percent APR interest rate, compute the
monthly payments Gavin owes after the grace period.

4&5-1 Future Value Consider that you are 35 years old and have just changed to a new job.
You have $80,000 in the retirement plan from your former employer. You can roll that
money into the retirement plan of the new employer. You will also contribute $5,000 each
year into your new employers plan. If the rolled-over money and the new contributions
both earn a 7 percent return, how much should you expect to have when you retire in 30
years?
The future value can be calculated by adding the accumulated value of $80,000 brought
forward with interest 30 years to a 30 year annuity of $5,000 per year, both using the 7%
interest assumption. Use equations 5-1 and 5-2 and add the results:

4&5-3 Future Value and Number of Annuity Payments Your client has been given a
trust fund valued at $1 million. He cannot access the money until he turns 65 years old,
which is in 25 years. At that time, he can withdrawal $25,000 per month. If the trust fund is
invested at a 5.5 percent rate, how many months will it last your client once he starts to
withdraw the money?
Using equation 5-1, $1 million will accumulate for 25 more years at 5.5% interest for a
