Cash Flow Diagram
is a simple graphical representation of cash flows drawn on a time scale. It is used to simplify problems
having diverse receipts and disbursements.
Example:
A loan of PhP 1,000 at simple interest of 10% will become PhP 1,500 after 5 years.
EQUATION VALUE
is obtained by setting the sum of the values of a certain comparison / data to a single date point (known as
the time reference).
Example:
A man bought a lot worth PhP 1,000,000 if paid in cash. On an instalment basis, he paid a
downpayment of PhP 200,000; PhP 300,000 at the end of one year; PhP 400,000 at the end of three years
and a final payment at the end of five years. What was the final payment if the interest was 20%?
Given:
Let:
A – Actual price (worth) = PhP 1,000,000.00
DP – Down Payment = PhP 200,000.00
P – present worth
P1 – end of 1st year payment F1 = PhP 300,000.00 n=1
P3 – end of 3rd year payment F3 = PhP 400,000.00 n=3
P5 – end of 5th year payment F5 = ? n=5
i = 20%
Required: future payment at the end of 5th year, F5
Solution:
P = P1 + P3 + P5
[A = P + DP]; P = A – DP
[F = P(1+i)n] ; P = F/(1+i)n
F1 F3 F5
A – DP = n + n + n
(1+i) (1+i) (1+i)
300,000 400,000 F5
1,000,000 – 200,000 = 1 + 3 +
(1+0.20) (1+0.20) (1+0.20)5
F5
800,000 = 250,000 + 231,481.48 +
2.48832
F5
= 800,000 – 250,000 – 231,481.48
2.48832
F5 = (2.48832) (318,518.52)
F5 = PhP 792,576.00 ans.
CONTINUOUS COMPOUNDING AND DISCRETE PAYMENTS
In discrete compounding, the interest is compounded at the end of each finite – length period such
as month, quarter or a year. It is assumed that cash payment is done once a year but the compounding is
continuous throughout the year.
F = P 𝑒r(n)
Example:
Compare the accumulated amounts after 5 years of PhP 1,000 invested at a rate of 10% per year
compounded (a) annually, (b) semi-annually, (c) quarterly, (d) monthly, (e) daily, and (f) continuously.
Given: P = PhP 1,000.00 r = 10% n = 5 years
m1 = 1 m2 = 2 m4 =4 m12 = 12 m365 = 365 me = e
Required: a.) F1 b.) F2 c.) F4 d.) F12 e.) F365 f.) Fe
Solution:
Using the formula: F = P(1+r/m)nm
a. F1 = P(1+r/m)nm = 1,000(1+0.10/1)5(1) = PhP 1,610.51
b. F2 = P(1+r/m)nm = 1,000(1+0.10/2)5(2) = 1,000(1+0.05)10 = PhP 1,628.89
c. F4 = P(1+r/m)nm = 1,000(1+0.10/4)5(4) = 1,000(1+0.025)20 = PhP 1,638.62
d. F12 = P(1+r/m)nm = 1,000(1+0.10/12)5(12) = 1,000(1+0.008333333)60 = PhP 1,645.31
e. F365 = P(1+r/m)nm = 1,000(1+0.10/365)5(365) = 1,000(1+0.00027397)1,825 = PhP 1,648.61
f. Fe = Per(n) = 1,000e0.10(5) = PhP1,648.72
