Assume that you are nearing graduation and have applied for a job with a local bank.  As part of the bank's evaluation process, you have been asked to take an examination that covers several financial analysis techniques.  The first section of the test addresses time value of money analysis.  See how you would do by answering the following questions. Draw time lines for:  (a) a $2000 lump sum cash flow at the end of year 4, (b) an ordinary annuity of $1000 per year for 5 years, and (c) an uneven cash flow stream of -$450, $1000, $650, $850 and $500 at the end of years 0 through 4.

What is the future value of an initial $1000 after 5 years if it is invested in an account paying 5% annual interest? What is the present value of $1000 to be received in 4 years if the appropriate interest rate is 5%? We sometimes need to find out how long it will take a sum of money (or anything else) to grow to some specified amount.  For example, if a company's sales for 2020 is $1000 and expected to grow…
Think about the cash flows associated with putting in the bank for five years, assuming you draw out the interest each year and then close the account. Now think about a set of hypothetical cash flows associated with putting the same money in a business, operating for five years, and then selling out. Write an explanation of why the IRR on the business project is like the bank’s interest rate. How are the investments different?
