INTRODUCTION TO INTERTEMPORAL ANALYSIS Friday, October 20. Common Measures of Change. Change = (FV-PV) (1,177.6 - 984.7) = 192.9 Percentage Change = (FV-PV)/PV =(1,177.6 - 984.7)/984.7 = .195 = 19.6%. Compounding. The Formula FV = PV*(1+g) T Initial value / present value = PV

Common Measures of Change Change = (FV-PV) (1,177.6 - 984.7) = 192.9 Percentage Change = (FV-PV)/PV • =(1,177.6 - 984.7)/984.7 = .195 = 19.6%
Compounding • The Formula • FV = PV*(1+g)T • Initial value / present value = PV • Final value / future value = FV • Average growth rate or interest per period = g • Number of time periods = T
Future Value Example • Q. What will the population of India be in the year 2020 if the population in 1985 was 751 million and the growth rate is 2.5% a year? • A. The initial value is 751, the growth rate is 2.5% (.0251), and the time horizon is 35 years.
Average Growth Rate Example • Q.What was average yearly rate of wage growth if wages grew from $102 in 1970 to $389 in 1989? • A. The present value is 102, the future value is 389, and the time period is 19.
Present Value Example • Q. How much will I need to save today to have $1,000 in 3 years if the interest rate is 8%.? • A. The end value is $1,000, the time horizon is 3 years, and the growth rate is 8%..
An Introduction to the Mathematics of Finance • Q: What is a Bond? • A: A promise to pay in the future • Q: What is the price of a Bond? • A: How much you need to pay today to ‘buy’ the future payment(s)? • Q: What does the bond’s price depend on? • A: How fast money grows
Determining the Price of a Bond The Deal: • On January 1 you are offered the following deal: $100 on January 1 for the next three years The Starting Point: • A dollar a year from now is not worth a dollar today so we must convert the ‘future’ dollars to ‘‘present’ dollars.
The Framework: • Compounding formula provides framework: PV = 100/(1+r) + 100/(1+r)2 + 100/(1+r) 2 r = expected interest rate (growth rate of money)
The Key to Intertemporal Analysis • The Compounding Formula • FV = PV*(1+g)T
