Deck 6: Accounting and the Time Value of Money

Question 1

Present value is the value now of a future sum or sums discounted assuming compound interest.

Answer 1

True

Question 2

Answer 2

True

Question 3

Question 4

Interest is the excess cash received or repaid over and above the amount lent or borrowed.

Question 5

The present value of an ordinary annuity is the present value of a series of equal rents withdrawn at equal intervals.

Question 6

If two annuities have the same number of rents with the same dollar amount, but one is an annuity due and one is an ordinary annuity, the present value of the annuity due will be greater than the present value of the ordinary annuity.

Question 7

The future value of an ordinary annuity table is used when payments are invested at the beginning of each period.

Question 8

If two annuities have the same number of rents with the same dollar amount, but one is an annuity due and one is an ordinary annuity, the future value of the annuity due will be greater than the future value of the ordinary annuity.

Question 9

The number of compounding periods will always be one less than the number of rents when computing the future value of an ordinary annuity.

Question 10

The unknown present value is always a larger amount than the known future value because dollars received currently are worth more than dollars to be received in the future.

Question 11

Question 12

Question 14

The future value of a single sum is determined by multiplying the future value factor by its present value.

Question 15

The future value of an annuity due factor is found by multiplying the future value of an ordinary annuity factor by 1 minus the interest rate.

Question 16

The time value of money refers to the fact that a dollar received today is worth less than a dollar promised at some time in the future.

Question 17
