What do we mean by Time Value Of Money? |
In simple terms, a dollar in hand TODAY is worth more than when you supposed to received say ONE YEAR from today. |
Is it important to understand this Time Value Of Money concept? |
It is definitely important to understand especially when an entity start investing in projects that involves paying cash outflow up-front and only receiving cash inflows after a certain period of years. Those cash inflows supposed to receive after a few years later are not the same as being received upfront. By understanding this concept, we can then later on learn to use a certain discount factor to relate these inflows supposed to receive in future years back to the up-front capital outflow. |
Time Value Of Money concept generally applied to : |
Capital Investment Appraisals |
