- The amount of money originally put into an investment is known as the present value P of the investment. For example, if you buy a $50 U.S. Savings Bond that matures in 10 years, the present value of the investment is the amount of money you have to pay for the bond today. The value of the investment at some future time is known as the future value F. Thus, if you buy the savings bond mentioned above, its future value is $50. If the investment pays an interest rate of r (as a decimal) compounded yearly, and if we know the future value F for t years in the future, then the present value P = P(F, r, t), the amount we have to pay today, can be calculated using the formula below. P = F × 1 (1 + r)t We measure F and P in dollars. The term 1/(1 + r)t is known as the present value factor, or the discount rate, so the formula above can also be written as the following.

- The pure expectations theory, or the expectations hypothesis, asserts that long-term interest rates can be used to estimate future short-term interest rates. Based on the pure expectations theory, is the following statement true or false? Q1.

The yield on a one-year Treasury security is 4.9200%, and the two-year Treasury security has a 5.9040% yield.

In this scenario annuity payments will be made at the beginning of each month. Thus, this is an annuity due. To find the present value of this annuity, the amount of money that should be deposited in an account now, the interest rate per period must first be found. The interest rate per period is calculated using the nominal, or annual, rate and the number of periods per year as follows. interest rate per period = nominal rate periods per year The rate was given to be 6%. Interest is compounded monthly, or 12 times per year. Find the interest rate per period. interest rate per period = nominal rate periods per year = % 12 = % The total number of compounding periods will be 1 less than the number of years annuity payments will be made multiplied by the number of compounding periods per year.
