Time value of money: The money that is received today and in the future will be different this is because of the discount rate or required rate of return or inflation etc.
Present value of money: Present value of money is the value of money in the present date
Present value of an annuity: The present value of annuity means the present value of future multiple even cash flows
Where P = present value of money
PMT = Even payments
r = rate of interest for a period
n = number of period
or
P = PMT * PVA
PVA = present value of annuity
For this, we need to use the PVA table and find the rate of interest column and number of period rows and the value in the cell in the row of the rate of interest and column of number of periods will be the PVA
