Which of the following is not one of the intuitive reasons that a cash flow in the future is worth less than a similar cash flow today?
a. |
When there is money inflation, the value of currency decreases over time. |
|
b. |
A promised cash flow in the future may not be received (there is risk). |
|
c. |
People prefer current consumption to future consumption. |
|
d. |
Future income may not be the same as income today. |
Which of the following is true about the present value of a regular annuity when compared to the present value of an annuity due with the same payments and interest rate?
a. |
The present value of the annuity due will always be less than the present value of the regular annuity because the regular annuity has one less period of discounting. |
|
b. |
The present value of the annuity due will always be greater than the present value of the regular annuity because the regular annuity has one less period of discounting. |
|
c. |
The present value of the annuity due will always be greater than the present value of a regular annuity because the annuity due has one less period of discounting. |
|
d. |
The present value of the annuity due will always be less than the present value of a regular annuity because the annuity due has one less period of discounting. |
As the frequency of discounting increases...
a. |
the present value of an annuity gets larger. |
|
b. |
the present value of a single sum in the future gets smaller. |
|
c. |
the present value of a single sum in the future get larger. |
|
d. |
the future value of a single sum today gets smaller. |
When calculating a present value using a higher interest rate in the equation will cause the present value to...
a. |
increase. |
|
b. |
possibly increase or decrease. |
|
c. |
decrease. |
|
d. |
not change |

Explanation:- Less period of discounting will result in higher present value
As the frequency of discounting increases...
b. |
the present value of a single sum in the future gets smaller. |
Explanation : due to compounding effect
When calculating a present value using a higher interest rate in the equation will cause the present value to...
c. |
decrease. |
Explanation: PV = FV / Interest rate factor
What is the PV of $10,000 expected to be received 5 years from now assuming an 8% annual interest rate?
c. |
$6,805.83 |
Explanation: - PV = 10000/(1+8%)^5
