    In this video you'll uncover the crucial concept of the time value of money and how it impacts your financial decisions. Time Value of Money is an important concept for making good investment decisions. It's based on the principle that the timing of payments is important. You'll need this at work if you're a project manager, proposing a new idea to your boss that costs money. You'll also need this for evaluating different options or choices of investments.
    ⬇️ DOWNLOAD the workbook here: pages.xelplus.com/time-value-...
    Here's what this video offers:
    - Time Value of Money Explained: Learn why a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow due to factors like investment opportunities, inflation, and risk.
    - Practical Excel Examples: Follow a step-by-step guide to understand if receiving a sum now is better than getting more money in installments over time.
    - Discover Excel's Power: See how to use Excel for calculating present value, with both manual methods and the NPV (Net Present Value) function.
    - Real-Life Scenarios: Understand how to apply these concepts in real business cases, like evaluating a machinery purchase or a customer's payment proposal.
    - Tailored Discount Rates: Learn how the right discount rate can vary based on opportunity costs, inflation expectations, and risk assessments.
    We can calculate this "time value of money" easily in Excel. In fact in this video, I'll show you an Excel template you can use to calculate the time value of money for any investment decisions.

    Question: If a customer asks you if instead of paying $10,000 in cash now he could pay $10,800 over 4 years. Is that a good deal for you?
    The answer depends on several factors:
    1. Opportunity Costs - Money has an earning capacity. So, instead of waiting for the money, you could invest it and hopefully make more out of it. By getting the money later, you lose the opportunity to make an additional income.
    2. Inflation - Prices increase over time. So, the same item will probably cost more in a couple of years.
    3. Risk - Payments in the future always carry a certain risk. Will you really get the money then?
    The combination of these factors defines the time value of money and is expressed as a discount rate. For instance a discount rate of 5% means that in each successive year the same amount of money is going to be worth 5% less than in the previous year.
    You'll learn how to calculate Present Value (PV) manually and then we'll use the Excel NPV formula to calculate the Net Present Value in one go. Input values is the discount rate and the future cash flows.
    In order to compare alternatives with different timing of payments we need to calculate their present value. In other words we need to discount future payments.
    Companies often use their Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) which is their average cost to get equity and debt. By applying their WACC as discount rate, any project that results in a NPV greater than zero is worth doing.
    Key Takeaways:
    - The further in the future the payments are, the lower their present value will be
    - Think of the discount rate as a hurdle. The higher the hurdle, the more difficult it will be to get a high present value

      Yes but... Doing lease or buy analysis on IT equipment the lease looked best in NPV terms. But we did not know when we would be ready to replace the equipment and the lease expiry date was fixed. So we bought saving loads of money in the end as the replacement was delayed. NPV is a useful tool that looks impressive but the answer can easily be overwhelmed in the real world.

    Nice introduction to Present Value. When I teach The Time Value of Money I always start with Future Value as the idea that if I invest a dollar and earn interest I will have a dollar plus. Students tend to understand this better. Then I can explain Present Value by show that I am indifferent to a dollar now or the dollar plus in the future (for the given discount rate).

    One pitfall to be wary of is to calculate the rate you need to make the investment worthwhile (in terms of npv) then to let yourself be convinced (with ad hoc reasoning) that rate is perfectly reasonable and achievable. You really need to understand what rate you need before you work out what the npv is for a particular investment!

      @dennisd5776 Před 4 lety +1

      All calculators (Excel, HP, Google Sheets, BI, etc) use the negative/positive switch in computing cash flows. The reason for this that the first period is general considered a payout (you buy the investment), which is a negative cash flow. There are examples where the first payment is received and the subsequent are payouts, but it is still a combination of paying and receiving. Advance business analysis can include both positive and negative cash flows; way to advance for this introduction.

Giving the arguments of PV: 100,000, I: 10%, PMT, 10,000, NPR: 10. You get -418,748, which is obviousness incorrect. I was always just told to multiple FV results by -1.

So, in the formula the enter payments with a negative sign (payout) I will get a positive 418,748. In the FV formula enter the 100,000 PV as -100,000 and the payments of 10,000 as -10,000 you will get the correct answer of 418,748. Yea, sometimes it is just simpler to take the easy short cut.

( that's what my cheat sheets says) I am wondering if there is ever a situation where the FV is not 0. I would like to see an example of where we would type something other than 0 for the FV. when doing a pmt or nper function. I ask this question because you don't know if a video tutorial will cover a specific question until you watch the whole video. for so many questions you can't tell by the title of the video if will cover the specific thing you are wanting to know.

  • @barttitulaerexcelbart9400

    As always: very good explained. One critical point: in the first "manual" solution, this is only valid if all the amounts are the same (in this case 2.700), but the second formula also is valid if the numbers are different, so that's why I always would recommend the CF/(1+%)^n formula. Another issue is that the NPV is confusing: the economic NPV is the "Excel NPV" - initial investment. To make your next video: NPV requires constant time intervals (like one year), but did you try XNPV ? You can enter any dates !!

    I'm confused with the last example... Shouldn't minimum return be the profit that will be made by machines in 4 years?
    If yes, 6% is not discount rate... Discount rate is missing.
    Also, 6% of 50 000$ is 3000$, which means that the goal is still not reached...
    I think that to fulfill the "minimum return" requirement, there is a formula missing comparing NPV and expected return. And an actual discount rate is missing...
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not in accounting, I'm an engineer... Just interested in variety of topics, so trying to understand :-)

    Great video, the only thing I didn't get is how we ended up with 10800 and why is not considered as changing variable. Why changing only the percentage not the 10800

    • @LeilaGharani
      @LeilaGharani  Před 4 lety

      I'm not sure I understand. The 10800 was the alternative to getting 10000 right away. But because the 10800 consist of payments in the future we need to discount them.

      Yes, it was just a random number that somewhat makes sense for such a situation.

    Someone help me understand why would money have less value in the future? Is inflation always a case? Does this apply to Companies or could this work for a friend-to-friend loan? Where do Discount Rates come from?

      From my understanding, inflation will exist most of the time, even in a friend-to-friend transaction. "A dollar today will not buy the same tomorrow." Everything is getting more expensive everyday, it is easier to notice when buying basic need products, whether they increase their price or decrease their size.

      Luis Roman ooooh I get it ! So the person borrowing makes out if the interest is low, since his $1 is worth more.

      @@RobertLongM inflation is always a consideration. Inflation is part of what makes our modern financial system work, and each country's Central Bank (government body) targets an inflation rate for the economy. For the US that is 1.7-2%
      Any transaction that involves borrowing or lending involves some kind of interest rate/discount rate/return rate. In the corporate example Leila mentioned that was the WACC which is the average cost to get money, averaging costs to borrow or sell shares.
      For an individual this is typically an interest rate. Interest rates can be decided on based on a number of factors. Such as the minimum amount you want to earn from loaning money, or you could figure out what the opportunity cost is to you to lend money. If you can put money in the bank and earn 2% with no risk that is your minimum opportunity cost. If you have somewhere else where you could put money and get 5% then you would use that as a minimum.
      Banks base their interest rates for loans and mortgages on the interest rate set by the country's Central Bank and then add a profit margin.
      That's long but I hope it helps.

    This is too much for my simple mind to take in. I HATE MATH. I would rather take $10,000 today and get the $800 with my work paychecks. Now if you said I could get $80,000 in 4 years, I would say I have a ton of patience and I could wait and just live off of my work paychecks.
