FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS
1. Individual present and future values
time
Future value
Present value Arithmetic progression → Nominal / simple
𝑭𝑽 = 𝑺𝒏
𝟏 interest (r)
𝑷𝑽 = 𝑺𝒏 ( ) = 𝑷𝑽(𝟏 + 𝒓𝒏)
𝟏 + 𝒓𝒏
𝑺𝒏
=
(𝟏 + 𝒓𝒏)
Present value Future value
Geometric progression → Compound interest (i)
𝟏 𝑭𝑽 = 𝑺𝒏
𝑷𝑽 = 𝑺𝒏 ( )
(𝟏 + 𝒊)𝒏
𝑺𝒏 = 𝑷𝑽(𝟏 + 𝒊)𝒏
=
(𝟏 + 𝒊)𝒏
2. Annuity
→ Ordinary annuity → to amortize loan or debt (principle) (Unpaid balance (Principle + Total
interest (FV)) = Paid balance (FVOA)) → making loan amortization
schedule
𝑺𝒏
𝑷𝑽 = → to obtain the amount of fund in the future (S = paid balance (FVOA))
(𝟏 + 𝒊)𝒏
→ making sinking fund schedule
FVOA= 𝑪𝟏 (𝟏 + 𝒊)𝒏−𝟏 + 𝑪𝟐 (𝟏 + 𝒊)𝒏−𝟐 + 𝑪𝟑 (𝟏 + 𝒊)𝒏−𝟑 + ⋯ + 𝑪𝒏 (𝟏 + 𝒊)𝟎 ,
where 𝐶1 = 𝐶2 = 𝐶3 = ⋯ = 𝐶𝑛 = C→ paid balance at the end of time interval within the whole
period.
(𝟏+𝒊)𝒏−𝟏
S = 𝑪[ ]
𝒊
→ Annuity due
FVAD = 𝑪𝟏 (𝟏 + 𝒊)𝒏 + 𝑪𝟐 (𝟏 + 𝒊)𝒏−𝟏 + 𝑪𝟑 (𝟏 + 𝒊)𝒏−𝟐 + ⋯ + 𝑪𝒏 (𝟏 + 𝒊)𝟏 ,
where 𝐶1 = 𝐶2 = 𝐶3 = ⋯ = 𝐶𝑛 → paid balance at the beginning of time interval within the
whole period.
(𝟏+𝒊)𝒏−𝟏
= 𝑪(𝟏 + 𝒊) [ ]
𝒊
FVAD > FVOA
3. Decision making on the capital / project investment
→NPV
NPV > 0 → Accept the project
NPV = 0 → Accept the project → IRR > Cost of capital (rate)
→ Reject the project → IRR < Cost of capital (rate)
NPV < 0→ Reject the project
→ IRR
NPV
NPV1 A = (r1, NPV1)
B = (IRR, 0)
r
0 r1 r2
NPV2 C = (r2, NPV2)
Slope from A to B = Slope from B to C
(0 − 𝑁𝑃𝑉1) (𝑁𝑃𝑉2 − 0)
=
(𝐼𝑅𝑅 − 𝑟1) (𝑟2 − 𝐼𝑅𝑅)
(𝑁𝑃𝑉1)
𝐼𝑅𝑅 = 𝑟1 + (𝑟2 − 𝑟1)
(𝑁𝑃𝑉1 − 𝑁𝑃𝑉2)
0 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 = 100
1 year = 100 + (100(0.10)) = 100(1 + (0.10))
2 year = 100(1 + (0.10)) + (100(1 + (0.10)))(0.10)
= (100 + 100(0.10)) + (100 + 100(10.10)2 )
= 100(1 + 0.10)2
