Money depreciates over time
Money has the same value regardless of time
Money has varying value depending on when it is received or paid
Money increases in value over time
#2
Which formula represents the future value of an investment?
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n
FV = PV * (1 + r)^n
FV = PV / (1 + r)^n
PV = FV * (1 + r)^n
#3
Which of the following factors affects the future value of an investment?
Interest rate
Time period
Number of compounding periods
All of the above
#4
Which of the following is NOT a component of the time value of money?

The rate at which future cash flows are compounded
#6

#7

It represents the cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to pursue another option

The process of calculating future values of cash flows
The process of reinvesting earnings to generate additional earnings over time
The process of discounting future cash flows
#9
What is the formula to calculate the present value of an annuity?
PV = Pmt / r
PV = Pmt * (1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r
PV = Pmt * ((1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r) - FV
PV = Pmt * ((1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r)
#10
What is the formula to calculate the effective annual rate (EAR) from the nominal annual rate (NAR) compounded semi-annually?
EAR = (1 + r)^2 - 1
EAR = (1 + r/2)^2 - 1
EAR = (1 + r)^2
EAR = (1 + 2r)^2
#11
Which of the following is an example of a perpetuity?
A bond with a fixed maturity date
An annuity with a finite number of payments
A bond that pays interest indefinitely
An annuity that pays a fixed amount each year for a fixed number of years
#12
What is the formula to calculate the future value of an annuity?
FV = Pmt / r
FV = Pmt * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r
FV = Pmt * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r - PV
FV = Pmt * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r + PV
