Homework comments

Some of you really tried to understand the

you did not.

I got some great answers in the last problem.

The return on investment is not realistic!

maturity value (future value).

We want to know how much we need to invest

today.

Let’s see

What was the value of the $500 four years ago?

is the same as

How much money would you have had to invest

four years ago?


Conclusion

Money has value at all times – now, in

the past and in the future.

Fourteenth Amendment

Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

This broke out on every question with the most alarming heat,

the bitterest animosities seemed to be engendered, and tho’

they met every day, little or nothing could be done from

mutual distrust and antipathy.... It ended in Mr. Madison’s

acquiescence in a proposition that the question should be

again brought before the House by way of amendment from

the Senate, that tho’ he would not vote for it, nor entirely

withdraw his opposition, yet he should not be strenuous, but

leave it to its fate. It was observed, I forget by which of them,

that as the pill would be a bitter one to the Southern states,

something should be done to soothe them; that the removal of

the seat of government to the Potomac was a just measure,

and would probably be a popular one with them, and would be

a proper one to follow the assumption.

showing evidence of a debt.

Promissory Note

A legal document specifying the terms of a loan:

the principal

the terms of repayments

the interest rate

the date

the maturity date

Different from IOU and loan contract.


Discounting the note

A debt instrument can be sold for less than

the maturity value. This is called

discounting the note.

The terms of the loan do not change for

the borrower.

Possible Scenario

A subprime borrower takes out a simple interest

rate loan from Shady Bank with a certain

maturity date and interest rate.

Shady Bank decides the risk is too high and sells

the loan to the Unsuspecting Investor who

wants a higher interest rate.

The problem is to calculate the sell price.


Given data

P – the principal

i1 – the original interest rate of the loan

d1 – the date of the loan

d3 – the maturity date

i2 – the interest rate desired by the buyer of

the loan

d2 – the sale date

22


Unknown

P2 – the price Unsuspecting Investor pays to

Shady Bank


Solution

Step 1 - Calculate the maturity value

24

We use the formula for future value:

S = P( 1 + i1t1)

t1 is the (exact) time from d1 to d3

S is the value of the principal at time d3

Solution

Step 2 – Discount the maturity value

This means to calculate the present value at

time d2

We use the formula for present value:

money.

An equation of value is a mathematical

expression involving several pieces of money

at a focal date.

The Golden Rule of Finance

Monies cannot be added or reconciled unless

they are valued at the same point in time.


Investments

Goal: predict if an investment will give a good

rate of return.

The rate of return of an investment is the ratio

of money gain or lost relative to the money

invested.
