Present Value and Future Value Formula in 2 Easy Steps
[3]
Hello and welcome once again to MBAbullshit.com Our topic for this video is Present Value.
[13]
So before anything else, I鈥檇 like to remind you that you can always go back to MBAbullshit.com
[20]
for your funny, easy tutorials.
[24]
It doesn鈥檛 matter whether you are business or college student or MBA or executive or
[34]
non-business moron like I was before.
[38]
Now, let鈥檚 get down to it.
[44]
I鈥檇 like to start with a story.
[47]
Let鈥檚 say that your grandmother gave you money when you were younger, a certain amount
[57]
of money and you don鈥檛 remember how much that money was.
[64]
Anyway, all you remember is that you put in a back for seven years and in the bank it
[72]
earned 6% interest rate.
[78]
After that seven years, you have $100.
[86]
Now the question is how much you think your grandmother gave you seven years before today
[102]
or seven years before it becomes $100.
[109]
In this problem, this $100 which is the amount after seven years, this $100 is called future
[122]
value.
[127]
The future value is written as FV in the formula.
[136]
This money, the amount that your grandmother gave you before the seven years is called
[145]
present value or past value.
[150]
It depends on how the story is told.
[154]
If I鈥檓 telling the story saying that $100 is today then the amount here is called past
[167]
value but if I鈥檓 telling the story saying that your grandmother gives this money to
[175]
you today and then in the future you get $100 then the money today is called present value.
[191]
I highly recommend using the word past value instead of present value because the word
[201]
present value can be confusing because the word present can change or the meaning of
[210]
the word present can change depending on how the story is told.
[217]
However, in business school your professor will almost always call this present value
[226]
even when he is talking about the past so don鈥檛 be confused about it.
[234]
Present value, past value, it is the same thing mathematically when used Math.
[243]
Anyway, the question is how do we compute the past value or the present value?
[253]
Well it is very simple.
[255]
We compute it by using a formula and in that formula we need all of these variables over
[264]
here.
[266]
We need the future value which we write as FV.
[271]
We need the past value or present value which we write as PV.
[278]
We have the interest rate which we write as R and we have the number of years which we
[287]
write as 7 and using these variables here, we make our formula over here.
[298]
So this formula may look very scary and intimidating but don鈥檛 panic because these things, all
[309]
these crazy letters and numbers over here just represent the stuff over here down here
[320]
which we already know.
[323]
In order to find out the present value here, we simply use the formula here as PV over
[333]
here is the same as the PV over here, present value or past value.
[343]
The FV over here talks about the future value which is the amount after the 6% interest
[351]
rate for seven years, simple as that.
[357]
One more thing, this FV over here is just one variable so don鈥檛 be confused.
[370]
This is not two variable F and V. No!
[376]
It is just one variable FV which means future value and that is $100 and it is the same
[386]
for PV.
[387]
This is just one variable PV.
[390]
It is not P multiplied by V as you might have learned in earlier Math when you were child
[399]
or in high school during Algebra.
[403]
Anyway, we move on now and see how we can use these variables and how we can plug these
[415]
figures into this formula up here.
[421]
It鈥檚 quite simple.
[425]
So we already know from the previous slide that the future value is $100 which is what
[433]
goes here.
[435]
We know that n is 7 which is what goes here.
[443]
We know that the interest rate is 6% which is what goes here.
