Expert Solution
Step 1: Explanation of FV and PV

The FV of an investment refers to the combined value of the cash flows of the investment at a predetermined future date assuming that they grow at a fixed rate. The PV of an investment refers to the combined value of the cash flows of the investment assuming that they are discounted to the present at a fixed rate. Both FV and PV use the concept of TVM in their calculations.
