(check all that apply) Decrease in the number of years until the future payment is received Increase in the interest rate Increase in the amount of the payment Decrease in the interest rate Increase in the number of years until the future payment is received
The amount of money originally put into an investment is known as the present value P of the investment. For example, if you buy a $50 U.S. Savings Bond that matures in 10 years, the present value of the investment is the amount of money you have to pay for the bond today. The value of the investment at some future time is known as the future value F. Thus, if you buy the savings bond mentioned above, its future value is $50.     If the investment pays an interest rate of r (as a decimal) compounded yearly, and if we know the future value F for t years in the future, then the present value P = P(F, r, t), the amount we have to pay today, can be calculated using the formula below. P = F ×  1 (1 + r)t   We measure F and P in dollars. The term  1/(1 + r)t  is known as the present value factor, or the discount rate, so the formula above can also be written as the following. P = F × discount rate (a) Explain what information the function P(F, r, t) gives you. The function…
