Time value of money:

Time value of money is the concept that differentiates the value of money received today and the value of same money received in future. According to this concept, the same amount of money to be received in future shall have lower present value (value of the money today) due to the interest that could be earned on that money.

Compound Interest:

Compound interest is interest on principal as well interest. It can be understood as interest on interest. The formula to calculate the compound interest is as follows:

$Compoundinterest=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^(nt)-P$

Where, P = Principal amount

r = annual rate of interest

n = number of compounding periods in a year

t = time period in years

To indicate:

The Calculate of Compounded interest and discuss Present value and future.
