#5
2. Which of the following formulas is used to calculate the future value of a single sum investment?
FV = PV / (1 + r)^t
FV = PV * (1 + r)^t
FV = PV * (1 - r)^t
FV = PV / (1 - r)^t
#6
6. What does the present value represent in Time Value of Money calculations?
The current market value of an asset
The value of money today equivalent to a future sum
The future worth of an investment
The accumulated interest over time
#7
9. What is the time horizon in Time Value of Money calculations?
The point in time when an investment is made
The duration over which cash flows occur
The maturity date of an investment
The frequency of compounding
#8
13. Which factor is considered in the calculation of the present value of an annuity?
Future value
Number of periods
Compounding frequency
Discount rate
#9
14. How does a longer time horizon impact the future value of an investment?
Increases future value
Decreases future value
No impact on future value
Affects present value, not future value
#10
3. What is the discount rate in the context of Time Value of Money?
The interest rate used to calculate present value
The rate at which future cash flows are discounted
The interest rate used to calculate future value
The rate of inflation
#11
4. How does compounding frequency affect the future value of an investment?
Higher compounding frequency increases the future value
Higher compounding frequency decreases the future value
Compounding frequency has no impact on future value
Compounding frequency only affects present value
#12
7. Which formula is used to calculate the present value of a single sum investment?
PV = FV * (1 + r)^t
PV = FV / (1 - r)^t
PV = FV / (1 + r)^t
PV = FV * (1 - r)^t
#13
8. How does an increase in the interest rate affect the present value of a future sum?
Higher interest rate increases present value
Higher interest rate decreases present value
Interest rate has no impact on present value
Interest rate only affects future value
#14
11. What is the formula for calculating the number of periods (t) in the future value of a single sum?
t = log(FV / PV) / log(1 + r)
t = log(FV / PV) / r
t = log(1 + r) / log(FV / PV)
t = log(1 + r) / (FV / PV)
#15
12. In Time Value of Money, what does the term 'real interest rate' refer to?
The interest rate adjusted for inflation
The nominal interest rate
The interest rate without compounding
The interest rate for short-term investments
