    10.   Future Value of Money

FV = PV (1+r)n

FV = Future Value, PV = Present Value
n – Period,     r – Rate of Interest

ex. If Rs 10000 will be invested for 5 years at interest rate 8% p.a find the future value.

FV = PV (1+r)n
     = 10000(1+8/100)5
= 10000(1+0.08)5
=14693

·         Same value can be calculated using Future Value Table.
FV = PV * Future Value Factor

11.   Future Value of Ordinary Annuity – When payments are made/ received at the end of each period.
                F = A [(1+i)n -1/ i]
      Where F = Future Value
                A = Annuity
                i – Interest rate
                n - Term


12.   Future Value of Annuity Due – Payment are made/ received at the beginning of each period.
                F = A[(1+i)n – 1/ i](1+r)
       Where F = Future Value
                A = Annuity
                i – Interest rate
                n – Term
·         Same value can be calculated using annuity table
  Future Value of Annuity = Annuity * CV Factor

     13.   Present Value

PV = FV / (1+r)n

Using Present Value Factor PV = FV * Present Value Factor
