The temporary value of money (TVM) is an important concept in finance. TVM states that the money available now is worth more than the same amount in the future. This is because money can earn interest over time. A key assumption of this model is that money will obtain consistent performance. This assumption helps people make decisions about savings, investment and spending. For example, knowing that money grows can motivate people to save for future objectives. However, this model has limitations. The assumption of consistent yields may not be true in real life due to changes in the market or economic conditions. Therefore, although the temporal value of money is useful for planning, it is essential to consider the risks and uncertainties in financial decision making.

What is the time value of money concept? Explain one of the assumptions behind the TVM model.
How does this assumption limit the application of this model?
agree or disagree with post
TVM or time value of money is the suggestion that todays currency will be more profitable in the future. This concept comes from the action of investing, which produces returns and in short monopolizes the investment. One of the biggest assumptions behind the TVM model is that the economic conditions will remain steady enough to produce a profit for the consumer. This model does not account for inflation, fluctuation of the market, and even different government actions which can impact the economy. This limits the application of the model because it is not accurate and due it being based off of a growing interest rate only which we all know is not the case. Investing can be unpredictable and ever changing so that needs to be taken into account in models such as these.

The firm is anticipating expansion of its sales in the coming year as a result of recent population growth trends. The firm's financial analyst has prepared pro forma balance sheets that reflect three different rates of growth in firm sales for the coming year and the corresponding non-discretionary sources of financing the firm expects to have available, as follows: a. What are the firm's discretionary financing needs under each of the three growth scenarios? b.

These clients consisted principally of small- to medium-size companies in Round Rock, Texas. However, the company's plans were disrupted when it landed a large printing contract which it expects will run for several years. Specifically, the new contract will increase firm revenues by 100 percent. Consequently, Caswell's managers know they will need to make some significant changes in firm capacity, and quickly. The following balance sheet for 2023 and pro forma balance sheet for 2024 reflect the firm's estimates of the financial impact of the 100 percent revenue growth: a. How much new discretionary financing will Caswell require based on the above estimates? b.

- (Related to Checkpoint 17.1) (Forecasting discretionary financing needs) Bates Fabricators, Inc. estimates that it invests 25 cents in assets for each dollar of new sales. However, 4 cents in profits are produced by each dollar of additional sales, of which 1 cent(s) can be reinvested in the firm. If sales rise by $773,000 next year from their current level of $5.36 million, and the ratio of spontaneous liabilities to sales is 0.17, what will be the firm's need for discretionary financing? (Hint: In this situation, you do not know what the firm's existing level of assets is, nor do you know how those assets have been financed. Thus, you must estimate the change in financing needs and match this change with the expected changes in spontaneous liabilities, retained earnings, and other sources of discretionary financing.) The discretionary financing needs will be $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)arrow_forwardI mistakenly submitted blurr image please comment i will write values. please dont Solve with incorrect values otherwise unhelpful.need helparrow_forwardHello expert see carefully I mistakenly submitted blurr image please comment i will write values. please dont Solve with incorrect values otherwise unhelpful.arrow_forward
