Introduction:

The value of dollar at present will not be the same as the value of dollar earned in the future. The value of money deteriorates as the years pass by. Hence, the present value of money is different from the future value of money.

The present value of money helps in calculating the present value of future cash receipts. The future value of money refers to the amount of dollars that an investment grows over a definite period at a particular rate of interest rate.
