Introduction
With the passing years, it seems that the costof goods and services continues to rise. This
appreciation
in price is known as
inflation
.In Australia, these price movements aremeasured by the
Consumer Price Index(CPI)
. When goods lose value, this is called
depreciation
. While some assets such ashouses and land increase in value, others,such as new cars and computers, continue todecrease. Throughout this chapter we shalllook at methods of calculating appreciationand depreciation; how these may be repre-sented graphically; and how they can help usplan for the future.

Consumer Price Index
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures price movements in Australia. Let us investigate this further to gain an understanding of how this index is calculated.
A ‘basket’ of goods and services, representing a high proportion of household expenditure is selected. The prices of these goods are recorded each quarter. The basket on which the CPI is based is divided into eight groups, which are further divided into subgroups. The groups are: food, clothing, tobacco/alcohol, housing, health/personal care, household equipment, transportation and recreation/education. Weights are attached to each of these groups to reflect the importance of each in relation to the total household expenditure. The following table shows the weights of the eight groups.
The weights indicate that a ‘typical’ Australian household spends 19% of its income on food purchases, 7% on clothing and so on. The CPI is regarded as an indication of the cost of living as it records changes in the level of retail prices from one period to another.
Let us consider a simplified example showing how this CPI is calculated and how we are able to compare prices between one period and another.Take three items with prices as follows:• A pair of jeans costing $75• A hamburger costing $3.90• A CD costing $25.Let us say that during the next period of time, the jeans sell for $76, the hamburger for $4.20 and the CD for $29. This can be summarised in a table.
The appropriate weight of each item is multiplied by the price of the item to determine what proportion the household would spend on each item in each period. The total weighted expenditure is then calculated.

The first period is regarded as the base and is allocated an index number of 100. The second period is compared with the first period and is expressed as a percentage of it. So, period 2 is 925

100%; that is, 106.4% compared with period 1 as 100%. This means that the average price of these items has risen by 6.4% (the inflation factor) from period 1 to period 2 and the CPI for period 2 is 106.4.
Task 1
1
Take 8 items with which you are quite familiar, one item from each of the CPI groups (similar to the ones chosen in the previous example — jeans, hamburger, CD). Slot them into their correct categories and note the weighting for each.
2
Draw up a table similar to the previous one, entering the item names and corresponding weightings.
3
Let the period 2 price be the typical prices of the items at this period of time. Enter these values into the table.
4
Let the period 1 price be the prices of these items one year ago (use your knowledge of these items to determine an educated realistic estimate). Enter these values into the table in the period 1 price column.
5
Complete the table as demonstrated above.
6
Determine the CPI for period 2 compared with period 1 as the base period.
7
What is your inflation factor?
Task 2
1
Conduct a search of the World Wide Web using the words ‘inflation CPI Australia’.
2
Research the history and use of the CPI in Australia. What items are in the subgroups? You should discover that separate CPI indices are calculated for each Australian State. These are then combined to produce an average CPI for the whole of Australia, like that shown in the graph below and the table at right.
3
Write a report of your findings. Remember to reference the source of your material.

Inflation and appreciationOne of the measures of how an economy is performing is the rate of inflation. Inflationis the rise in prices within an economy and is generally measured as a percentage. InAustralia this percentage is called the Consumer Price Index (CPI). By looking at theinflation rate we can estimate what the cost of various goods and services will be atsome time in the future.
To estimate the future price of an item one year ahead, we increase the price of anitem by the rate of inflation. The financial functions of graphics calculators can assistthese calculations.
When calculating the future cost of an item several years ahead, the method of calcu-lation is the same as for compound interest. This is because we are adding a percentageof the cost to the cost each year.
Remember the compound interest formula is A = P and so in these
examples P is the original price, R is the inflation rate expressed as a % p.a., n is thenumber of rests per year and T is the time in years. Generally the inflation is expressedas a yearly rate, so the value of n is 1.
The cost of a new car is $35 000. If the inflation rate is 5% p.a., estimate the price of the car after one year.
THINK WRITE
Increase $35 000 by 5%. Future price = 105% of $35 000Future price = 105 ÷ 100 × $35 000Future price = $36 750

A similar calculation can be made to anticipate the future value of collectable items, suchas stamp collections and memorabilia from special occasions. This type of item increasesin value over time if it becomes rare, and rises at a much greater rate than inflation. Theamount by which an item grows in value over time is known as appreciation.
Modelling appreciation with the aid of a graphics calculator
You have purchased a rare coin that the coin dealer told you should appreciate by 15% each year. You paid $850 for the coin and hope that its value will treble within the next 10 years. The coin dealer is not sure whether this is the case, so you offer to produce a graph for him displaying the value of the coin over the next 10 years.
Using a graphics calculator greatly simplifies the calculations and will produce a graph that can be used to determine the value of the coin at any period of time. The screens displayed and instructions supplied are those of the TI-83 and Casio CFX-9850GB PLUS.1 Enter the appropriate formula into Y1, with the variable being time (X).
TI: Press then enter the formula.
Casio: Enter TABLE from MENU then enter the formula.
Jenny purchases a rare stamp for $250. It is anticipated that the value of the stamp will rise by 20% per year. Calculate the value of the stamp after 10 years, correct to the nearest $10.
THINK WRITE
Write the values of P, R, T and n.
P = $250R = 20T = 10n = 1
Write down the compound interest formula.
A = P
A = 250
Substitute the values of P, R, T and n.
A = $250 × (1.2)10
Calculate and round off to the nearest $10.
A = $1550

8 Investigate further to determine the time when the coin will be 4 times its original value.
9 Prepare a report to the coin dealer explaining how the value of the coin changes over time. Provide a table and a graph to support your figures.
10 The coin dealer asks you if he could use your graph for values other than $850 which was the initial value of the coin. Explain how the graph could be used to determine the time when any sum of money doubles, trebles, and so on, as long as the appreciation rate remains at 15% p.a.

remember1. Inflation is the measure of the rate at which prices increase.2. The inflation rate is given as a percentage and is called the Consumer Price
Index.3. To estimate the cost of an item after one year, we increase the price by the
percentage inflation rate.4. To estimate the cost of an item after several years, we use the compound
interest formula, using the inflation rate as the value of R.5. Rare items such as collectibles and memorabilia increase in value as time goes
on at a rate that is usually greater than inflation.

Modelling depreciationAn asset is an item that has value to its owner. Many assets such as cars and computerslose value over time. This is called depreciation.
Consider the case of a new motor vehicle. The value of the car depreciates themoment that you drive the car away from the showroom. This is because the motorvehicle is no longer new and if it were sold it would have to be sold as a used car. Thecar then continues to lose value steadily each year.

There are two types of depreciation, the straight line method and the decliningbalance or diminishing value method. Depreciation is a significant factor in the oper-ation of a business. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows depreciation on itemsnecessary for the operation of the business as a legitimate tax deduction.
Straight line depreciationThe straight line method is where the asset depreciates by a constant amount each year.When this type of depreciation is graphed, a straight line occurs and the asset willreduce to a value of 0.
In such a case, a linear function can be derived that will allow us to calculate thevalue of the item at any time. The function can be found using the gradient–interceptmethod. The initial value of the item (Vo) will be the vertical intercept and the gradientwill be the negative of the amount that the item depreciates, D, each year. The equationof this linear function will be:
V = Vo − Dt
where V is the present value of the item and t is the age of the asset, in years.Note that gradients for depreciation will always be negative.
Depreciation of motor vehiclesChoose a make of car and find out the price for a new vehicle of this make and model. Then go through the classified advertisements in the newspaper and complete the table below or look in the RACQ publication The Road Ahead.
Draw a graph that shows the price of this car as it ages.

In the previous worked example, how long does it take for the computer todepreciate to a value of $0? The computer is said to be ‘written off’ when itreaches this value.
Declining balance or diminishing value depreciationThe other method of depreciation used is the declining balance or diminishing valuemethod of depreciation. Here, the value of the item depreciates each year by apercentage of its current value. Under such depreciation, the value of the item neveractually becomes zero.
This type of depreciation is an example of exponential decay. A graph depicting thevalue over time is non-linear, showing a downward-falling curve which never actuallyreaches a zero value.
The table below shows the declining value of a computer. Graph the value against timeand write an equation for this function.

A graphics calculator can be used to plot the values in the tables in worked examples 4and 5. This can check the shapes of the curves. The two variables (age and value) canbe entered as lists. Because no equations are entered, we can not extrapolate valuesfrom the graph beyond the limits of the values in the lists. Later in this chapter we willexplore a graphics calculator technique which will enable us to extrapolate valuesfrom graphs.
The table at right shows the value of a car that is purchased new for $40 000.Plot the points on a set of axes and graph the depreciation of the car. Use the graph to estimate the value of the car after 10 years.

remember1. Depreciation is the loss in the value of an item over time.2. Depreciation can be of two types:
(a) straight line depreciation — the item loses a constant amount of value each year(b) declining balance or diminishing value depreciation — the value of an item
depreciates by a percentage of its value each year.3. Straight line depreciation can be graphed using a linear function in which the
new value of the item is the vertical intercept and the gradient is the negative of the annual loss in value.
4. A declining balance or diminishing value depreciation is an example of exponential decay and is graphed with a smooth curve.
5. A graphics calculator can be used to graph depreciation. Values can be determined at any point along the straight line or curve.

Straight line depreciationWe have already seen that the straight line method of depreciation is where the value ofan item depreciates by a constant amount each year.
The depreciated value of an item is called the salvage value, S. The salvage value ofan asset can be calculated using the formula:
S = Vo − Dnwhere Vo is the purchase price of the asset, D is the amount of depreciation per periodand n is the total number of periods.
By solving an equation we are able to calculate when the value of an asset falls belowa particular value.

12 An asset that depreciates at $6500 per year is written off after 12 years. Calculate thepurchase price of that asset.
Declining balance or diminishing value method of depreciation
The declining balance or diminishing value method of depreciation occurs when thevalue of an asset depreciates by a given percentage each period.
Consider the case of a car purchased new for $30 000, which depreciates at the rateof 20% p.a. Each year the salvage value of the car is 80% of its value at the end of theprevious year.
After 1 year: S = 80% of $30 000= $24 000
After 2 years: S = 80% of $24 000= $19 200
After 3 years: S = 80% of $19 200= $15 360

The salvage value under a declining balance can be calculated using the formula:
S = Vo
where S is the salvage value, Vo is the purchase price, R is the annual percentagedepreciation and T is the number of years. Note the similarity to the compound interestformula with a minus sign in place of a plus sign (because the value is decreasing). Thevalue of n is 1 since depreciation is usually calculated yearly.
To calculate the amount by which the asset has depreciated, we subtract the salvagevalue from the purchase price.
A small truck that was purchased for $45 000 depreciates at a rate of 25% p.a. By calculating the value at the end of each year, find the salvage value of the truck after 4 years.

The salvage value at the end of each year will be 75% of its value at the end of the previous year.Find the value after 1 year by calculating 75% of $45 000.

Find the value after 2 years by calculating 75% of $33 750.
After 2 years: S = 75% of $33 750= $25 312.50
Find the value after 3 years by calculating 75% of $25 312.50.
After 3 years: S = 75% of $25 312.50= $18 984.38
Find the value after 4 years by calculating 75% of $18 984.38.

Depreciation is an allowable tax deduction for people in many occupations. A taxdeduction for depreciation is allowed when equipment used in earning an incomedepreciates in value and will eventually need replacing. Depending on the equipmentand the occupation, either straight line or diminishing value depreciation may beused.
Under diminishing value depreciation, when the salvage value falls below a certainpoint the equipment may be written off. This means that the entire remaining balancecan be claimed as a tax deduction and as such is considered worthless. From this pointon, no further tax deductions can be claimed for this equipment. A visit to the AustralianTaxation Office’s website provides more detailed information on this subject.
Comparing straight line depreciation and diminishing value depreciation
using a spreadsheetLet us look at a solution to worked example 14 using a spreadsheet. The value of the new car is $20 000. Depreciation using the straight line method is $2500 per year. Depreciation using the diminishing value method is 20% p.a. Let us draw up a spreadsheet similar to the one following.
THINK WRITE/DISPLAY
Set the window to display the age of the car (x-value) in the range 0 to 10 and the car’s value (y-value) from $20 000 down to 0.
TI: Press . Casio: Press [V-WINDOW].
Graph the functions. Use the options to determine the co-ordinates of the point of intersection. Beyond this point the value using straight line depreciation becomes less than the value using diminishing value depreciation. Notice that this gives a more accurate result than the manual method.
TI: Press , then [CALC] and select 5:intersect.At the question ‘First curve’, press (to confirm that the cursor is on one of the curves), press again (toconfirm the second curve) and press to confirm that you now want to see the ‘Guess’.

Future and present value of an annuityAn annuity is a form of investment involving regular periodic contributions to anaccount. On such an investment, interest compounds at the end of each period and thenext contribution to the account is then made.
Superannuation is a common example of an annuity. Here, people invest in a fund ona regular basis, the interest on the investment compounds, while the principal is addedto for each period. The annuity is usually set aside for a person’s entire working lifeand is used to fund retirement. It may also be used to fund a long-term goal, such as atrip in 10 years time.
To understand the growth of an annuity, we first need to revise compound interest.
The compound interest formula is:
A = P
where A is the amount that an investment will become, P is the principal, R is the interest rate per annum, n is the number of interest periods per year and T is the time in years.

An annuity takes the form of a sum of compound interest investments. Consider thecase of a person who invests $1000 at 10% p.a. at the end of each year for five years.
To calculate this, we would need to calculate the value of the first $1000 which isinvested for four years, the second $1000 which is invested for three years, the third$1000 which is invested for two years, the fourth $1000 which is invested for one yearand the last $1000 which is added to the investment.
To find out more about the future value of an annuity, click here when using the MathsQuest Maths A Year 12 CD-ROM.
Annuity calculationsThe amount to which an annuity grows is called the future value of an annuity and
can be calculated using the formula:
A = M
Calculate the value of an annuity in which $1000 is invested each year at 10% p.a. for 5 years.
THINK WRITE
The value of n is 1 in all cases. n = 1
Use the compound interest formula to calculate the amount to which the first $1000 will grow.
A = P
= $1000 × 1.14
= $1464.10
Use the compound interest formula to calculate the amount to which the second $1000 will grow.
A = P
= $1000 × 1.13
= $1331.00
Use the compound interest formula to calculate the amount to which the third $1000 will grow.
A = P
= $1000 × 1.12
= $1210.00
Use the compound interest formula to calculate the amount to which the fourth $1000 will grow.
A = P
= $1000 × 1.1= $1100.00
Find the total of the separate $1000 investments, remembering to add the final $1000.
Total value = $1464.10 + $1331.00 + $1210.00 + $1100.00 + $1000
= $6105.10

Annuity values using tablesTo compare an annuity with a single sum investment, we need to use the presentvalue of the annuity. The present value of an annuity is the single sum of moneywhich, invested on the same terms as the annuity, will produce the same financialresult.
Problems associated with annuities can be simplified by creating a table that willshow either the future value or present value of an annuity of $1 invested per interestperiod.
3 Click on the Tab ‘Chart 1’. This is a line graph that shows the growth of the annuity for up to 30 deposits.
4 Change the size of the deposit to $500 and the compounding periods to 2. This will show how much benefit can be achieved by reducing the compounding period.
Future value of $1Consider $1 is invested into an annuity each interest period. The table we are going to construct on a spreadsheet shows the future value of that $1.
1 Open a new spreadsheet.
2 Type in the headings shown on the following page.
3 In cell B4 enter the formula =((1+B$3)^$A4-1)/B$3. (This is the future value formula.) Format the cell, correct to 4 decimal places.

Inflation• The price of goods and services rises from year to year. To predict the future price
of an item we can use the compound interest formula taking the rate of inflation as R.• The same method is used to predict the future value of collectibles and of
memorabilia, which tend to rise at a rate greater than inflation.
Modelling depreciation• Depreciation can be calculated in two ways. The depreciation can be straight line
depreciation or declining balance depreciation.• Straight line depreciation occurs when the value of an asset decreases by a constant
amount each year. The graph of salvage value is a straight line, the vertical intercept is the purchase price and the gradient is the negative of the annual depreciation.
• Declining balance depreciation occurs when the salvage value of the item is a percentage of the previous year’s value. The graph of a declining balance depreciation will be an exponential decay graph.
Straight line depreciation• The salvage value of an asset under straight line depreciation can be calculated
using the formula S = Vo − Dn, where S is the salvage value, Vo is the purchase price of the asset, D is the amount of depreciation per period and n is the number of periods of depreciation.
• Values of Vo, D or n can be calculated by substitution and solving the equation.
Declining balance method of depreciation• Under declining balance depreciation the salvage value of an asset can be
calculated using the formula S = Vo , where R is the percentage
depreciation per year.• To calculate the amount by which an asset depreciates in a year we subtract the
salvage value at the end of the year from the salvage value at the beginning of the year.
Depreciation tables• Depreciation can be compared using either a table or a graph.• Tax deductions are allowed for depreciation of assets that are used as part of
earning an income.• A depreciation schedule is used to calculate tax deductions over a period of years.
Future value of an annuity• An annuity is where regular equal contributions are made to an investment. The
interest on each contribution compounds as additions are made to the annuity.• The future value of an annuity is the value that the annuity will have at the end of a
fixed period of time.
Use of tables• A table can be used to find the present or future value of an annuity.• The table shows the present or future value of $1 under an annuity.• The present or future value of $1 must be multiplied by the contribution per period
to calculate its present or future value.
