Step 1

The Time value of money is a concept that says the amount of money has more worth in the present time than in the future with the same amount of money due to its potential earning capacity.
Money loses its value because of inflation, which reduces the buying power of money.
Suppose today you are having $100, its present value is also $100 but its future value will be $97.56 discounted at an inflation rate of @2.5%.
For this reason, the future value is worth less than the present value.

Step 2

Following are the formulas for future value and present value:

$Future value=PV(1+r)nPV = present valuer = interest raten = years$
$P r e s e n t v a l u e = F V (1 + r) n F V = f u t u r e v a l u e, r = i n t e r e s t r a t e, n = y e a r s$

The Time value of money is a concept that says the amount of money has more worth in the present time than in the future with the same amount of money due to its potential earning capacity.

If two events are independent how do we calculate the and probability, P(E and F), of the two events? (As a side note: this "and" probability, P(E and F), is called the joint probability of Events E and F. Likewise, the probability of an individual event, like P(E), is called the marginal probability of Event E.)
