What’s on the Time Value of Money poster
The rule, 3 worked examples, and the mistake everyone makes.
- Present value equals future value divided by one plus the rate, raised to the number…
- PV = FV ÷ (1 + r)^n
- £1,000 in 3 years at 8% = £794 today
- Perpetuity = PV = cash flow ÷ r
- Growing perpetuity = PV = CF ÷ (r − g)
- Common mistake: Adding cash flows from different years → Discounting each to today first
The discount rate carries the risk. A riskier project needs a higher rate, which lowers the present value.
