Part II.

1.      The Value of Money (5 minutes)

  • Definition: A dollar received today has greater value than a dollar to be received in the future

2.      Compounding (5 minutes)

  • Compounding assumes that the interest earned is reinvested
  • You reinvest to earn additional interest over the life of the investment
  • In short, interest earned on interest

3.      Discounting (5 minutes)

  • The process of determining the present value of money to be received in the future
  • Either received from a lump sum and/or periodic payments
  • Reflects the loss of earnings over the time you had to wait to receive your money
  • In short, inflation is “eating” at the value of your money

4.      Discounted Cash Flow Approaches (10 minutes)

  • Define Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
  • Define Net Present Value (NPV)

5.      Internal Rate of Return (IRR) (25 minutes)

  • The percentage rate earned on each dollar invested for each period that it is invested
  • That discount rate, when applied to future cash flows, exactly equals the Present Value of the future cash flows
