Lump Sum
Future Value
The Problem
– You've received a $40,000 legal settlement. Your great-uncle recommends investing it for retirement in 27-years by “rolling over” one-year certificates of deposit (CDs)
– Your local bank has 3% 1-year CDs
– How much will your investment be worth?
– Comment.
Categorization– Your capital gains will be reinvested. There is
no cash-flow from the settlement for 27 years, so this is a lump sum problem.
– There is some uncertainty in the cash flows because interest rate are static for just the first year, but we assume that it will be 3% until you retire
– If you are unable to shelter your earnings, the IRS will want their cut
Data Extraction
• PV = $40,000
• i = 3% (or 3% * (1- marginal tax rate)?)

• Your great uncle's a financial idiot• Given a 27-year investment, you should
either – Invest the money more aggressively to
accumulate the money you need to survive, or
– Live! Blow the money on that red convertible!

Problem 2
• An investment you made 12-years ago is today worth its purchase price. It has never paid a dividend.
• Closer inspection reveals that the share price has been highly periodic, moving from $150 when purchased, to $300 in the next year, to $75 in the next, back to $150, before repeating

Comments
– Here we have the average holding period return being 41.67% per year, while the security has returned you nothing over the whole period!
– Averages seduce us with their intuitiveness– The correct average to have used was the
geometric average of return factors, not the arithmetic average of return rates
Averages Must be Meaningful 1
– You walk 1 mile at 2 mph and another at 3 mph. What was your average speed? (2+3)/2 = 2.5 mph.
– NO!– The first leg lasts 1/2 hour, and the second leg
lasts 1/3 hours, total 5/6 hours.– So average speed is 2/(5/6) = 2.4 mph.
Averages Must be Meaningful 2
– A little analysis shows that the correct mean for the walker is the harmonic mean
– The correct mean for the return problem may be shown to be the geometric mean of the (1+return)’s
– The appropriate mean requires thought
Problem 3– In 1066 the First Duke of Oxbridge was
awarded a square mile of London for his services in assisting the conquest the England. The 30th Duke wished to live a faster paced life, and sold his holding in 1966 for £5,000,000,000. Examination of original project’s cost showed only the entry “1066 a.d.: to repair armor, £5”
– What was rate of capital appreciation ?
Categorization
– We may assume that the Dukes lived quite well from leasing land to their tenants, but we are not interested in the revenue cash flows here, just the capital cash flows
– There is a present cash flow, a future cash flow, and no annuity payments, so the problem is the return on a lump-sum invested for a number of periods
Data Extraction
• PV = 10
• FV = 5,000,000,000

Comments
• Note that a capital gain of only 1.1% per year results in a huge value over time
• Time plus return is very potent
• The real issue here is what is missing, namely the revenue streams

Lump Sum
Number of periods
The Problem
• How many years would it take for an investment of $9,284 to grow to $22,450 if the interest rate is 7% p.a. ?
• p.a. = per annum = per year
Categorization– This is a lump sum problem asking for a
solution in terms of time. Most of these problems are useful models of reality if expressed in real terms, not nominal terms
– In any nominal situation, the terminal $22,450 will not be a constant, but will depend on the unknown time
– We will assume that the numbers and rates are in real terms

Present Value
The Problem
– If investment rates are 1% per month, and you have an investment that will produce $6,000 one hundred months from now, how much is your investment worth today?
Categorization
– This is the most basic of financial situations, and involves finding the present value of a future payment given no periodic payments
– The issue of risk is a little fuzzy. It is assumed that the rate given is for the project’s risk category

The Secret Reveled– Now you have seen the derivation of the rule
of 72, you are now able to produce your own personal rules. Example:
• “The Rule of a Magnitude”To increase your wealth by 10 times, the product of
interest and time is 240, that is about (2.08/2)*ln(10)
Example, how long will it take to increase your money ten times, given interest rates of 10%?
N = 240/10 = 24 years, real answer is 24.16 years
How good is the Rule of 72?
– We have derived a rule using approximation methods, but have no idea how accurate it is
– There are two tests we could apply• we could take some range, and determine the
absolute maximum error of the rule in that range
• we could simply graph the error
– Graphs are fun:

Graph of Rule of 72 Error
– The high error in a part of the graph that does not interest us is hiding the error in the part that does. We have two choices
• plot absolute error on a log scale
• truncate the graph and re-scale

Another Example
– You are a stockbroker wishing to persuade a young client to reconsider her $50,000 invested in 3%-CDs.
– Your client believes that stock mutual funds will return about 12% for the foreseeable future, but is averse to the volatility risks. Her money will remain fully invested for the next 48 years.
Step 1
– The first step requires the calculation of how long is required to obtain a single doubling
• CDs: 72/3 = 24 years to double
• Mutual fund: 72/12 = 6 years to double
Step 2
– The second step requires the calculation of how many doublings will occur during the lives of the investments
• CDs: 48/24 = 2 doublings
• Mutual fund: 48/6 = 8 doublings
Step 3
– The third step calculates the value of the investment in 48 years
– CDs: 2 doublings of $50,000 • = $200,000
– Mutual fund: 8 doubling of $50,000• =256 * $50,000
• =$12,800,000 in 48 years
Conclusion– We shall discover that her risk is smaller than
she imagines, but she will be about 64 times more wealthy if she accepts that risk
– Using the accurate method, her respective wealths are $206,613 and $11,519,539,
– The lesson is to start to invest early, and accept some risk
Growth at 3 and 12 %
– The following graph shows her wealth increases over 10 years at a 3% and 12%
• The graph was cut at 10 years because the 12% rate of growth is so large that it dwarfs the 3% growth, making the graph meaningless
Growth of $50,000 for 10 Years @ 3% and 12%
Ten Years Growth @ 3% & 12%

Log Transformation of Y-Axis
– A common way to plot two such cash flows on the same graph is to use a semi-log graph. This prevents scale problems from hiding one of the graphs
– Note that the two graphs appear to be straight lines, and this is in fact the case

What is the use of the Rule?
– A significant source of avoidable error in financial calculations results from blindly “running the numbers” without reviewing them for empirical reasonableness
– It is a good practice to estimate values before computing them
– The rule of 72 is one tool that sometimes gives you “numerical feel” of a problem
• Your reaction to learning the rule of 72 is– “Why bother, I’ve got the latest and best HP
financial calculator.”
• In a business meeting, the unilateral drawing of a financial calculator has a chilling effect on your opponents flexibility in a negotiation – It is amazing how many real problems you
can solve in your head using the rule of 72

Irregular Cash Flows
Backwards Method
The Problem
– You have been offered a video business, and estimate that video rental technology will be obsolete in 8 years when cable bandwidths and video compression will permit “movie-on-demand.” You require a 20% return on this class of risk. The cash flows, starting 1-year from now,are: 90, 110, 140, 140, 130, 90, 70, 30 (thousands of $s)
A Faster Method of Discounting
– This is basically a present value of a lump sum repeated 8-times
– The most straightforward method would be to crunch the answer or use an Excel worksheet
– A good method to use on a calculator is the following algorithm:
A Faster Method of Discounting (Continued)
– Input the last cash flow, and divide by the interest factor to “bring it to” a year earlier
– Iterate:• Add this discounted cash flow to the cash flow that
is already there, and discount the total for another period by dividing by the interest factor. Stop when you reach the current time
• Doing this is a lot simpler than it sounds

– American Classic Cars! Finance Special! Sprite Conversion! Now Only $15,000! Just $1,000 Down, and 3-years to pay! Only 3% per year! (Compounded monthly with your good credit.)
The Problem (Continued)
• Classic Car News has an almost identical car advertised for $9,000, but it needs $3,000 of work to match the condition of the car offered by ACC.
• What implied rate of interest, (per year, compounded yearly) would you be paying if you purchased the car from ACC?
Explanation• When purchasing from Smart, you are
buying a bundle of financing and car
• To un-bundle the package, you use the cost of acquiring the competing car– Cash value of car = $9,000 + $3,000 =
$12,000
• Next, determine the cash flows associated with the financed car

The Problem• Mary will retire in 12-years, has $100,000
saved, and will put $12,000 into an account (at the end of every year) until she retires.
• She will take a $20,000 cruse in year-5.
• She expects to live 8 years after she retires, and will leave $30,000 to “bury her.” What will be her retirement income?
• The bank pays 3%
Key to Solution
– After Mary’s wake, there is no money left. The future value of all her cash flows is the zero. The present value of all cash flows must also be zero
– We will discount all flows to the current year– You may prefer to use Mary’s retirement or
death day as the reference
