FI360 MOD 3 Discussion
The article “Why the Time Value of Money (TVM) Matters to Investors” by Brian Beers discusses the concept of the Time Value of Money (TVM). Several concepts discussed in the article relate to the core learning objectives of the course.
ULO 1 - Time Value of Money
Beers (2024) notes that a dollar today is not worth a dollar tomorrow due to the potential earning capacity. The article illustrates how vital the Time Value of Money is to a business. This principle plays a significant role in decision-making, investment analysis, and evaluating future cash flow for the business. ULO 2 – Annuities
While not explicitly discussed in the article, the principles of annuities are important in the calculation of the current and future values. An annuity involves payments made at the end of
each period. This may involve pensions, insurance, and other payments that occur at regular intervals.
ULO 3 - Interest Rates
Nominal interest rates are rates reported without taking inflation or compounding the interest into account. It is the actual interest rate agreed on and paid (European Central Bank, 2026). Periodic interest rate is the interest rate calculated for a specific period, sometimes less than a year. The effective interest rate is the real return on an investment or the real cost of borrowing. ULO 4 - Cost of Money
Factors influencing the cost of money include the risk-free rate, inflation expectations, and the risk premium required by investors. These elements determine interest rates.
ULO 5 - Market Interest Rates
According to Beers (2024), TVM is influenced by market inflation. Inflation has a significant impact on market rates. Other factors affecting market interest rates include debt or cost issues, risks, and the liquidity of securities.
ULO 6 - Yield Curve
3
The yield curve represents the relationship between time and yield on fixed-income securities. Therefore, the yield curve has a direct impact on TVM and is crucial for forecasting interest rates and making investment decisions.

Please answer question 2 & 3 after reading the scenario thank you. Question at the end
Stephanie Carter has been gifted a sum of $50,000 by her grandparents on completing her graduation successfully. She is a fresh finance graduate and is excited to invest some money in the capital market, for which she intends to use the gifted sum of $50,000. However, instead of committing this money to the market immediately, she decides to wait for some time, work in the field and acquire some experience before proceeding with her intended investment. She thus contemplates an extremely conservative investment in a portfolio of stocks and bonds, at the start of year 5 from now. For now, she will leave the $50,000 in a fixed deposit with the bank which promises an interest rate of 6% per annum.
She will require a return of at least 9% on her stock investments and 4% on bond investments. Stephanie would have to pay 25% taxes on any interest income. Dividends will be tax-free. Stephanie’s research…
