Projecting Present Dollars into the Future
R=$ T=years r=interest rate
How much will $1000 earn in 2 years at an interest rate of 10%?
R0 = $1000
R1 = $1000*(1+.01) = $1010
R2 = $1010*(1+.01) = $1020.10
R2 = $1000*(1+.01)2 = $1020.10
RT = R0*(1+r)T

Projecting Future Dollars into the Present
How much will $1000 earned in 2 years at an interest rate of 10% be worth today?
Since RT = R0*(1+r)T
R0 = RT/(1+r)T
Present Value
discount rate
discount factor
Low r – more future-oriented and benefits projects in which returns are concentrated further into the future
High r – more present-oriented and benefits projects in which returns are concentrated closer into the future

Inflation
How to incorporate inflation – price level increases – into the procedure?
Given: ∏ = inflation rate
However, (1+∏) terms cancel out, leaving the PV equation from previous slide!
CAUTION: $ values and r values must be measured consistently – if real values are used for R, the r must be measured in real terms

Private Sector Project Evaluation
Present Value Criterion
Annual Net Return PV of R&D vs. Advertising
Year R&D Advertising r = R&D Advertising
0 $1,000 -$1,000 0 $150 $200
1 600 0 0.01 128 165
2 0 0 0.05 46 37
3 550 1,200 0.07 10 -21
Note choice of r is critical:
Low r benefits Advertising; High r benefits R&D.

Private Sector Project Evaluation Internal Rate of Return
Project Year 0 Year 1 ρ Profit PV
X -$100 $110 10% $4 3.77
Y -$1,000 $1,080 8% $20 18.87
IRR: Discount rate that would make a project’s NPV zero
This criterion is flawed when comparing projects of much differing sizes. Although X has the higher IRR, Y yields the higher profit.
Note that the PV criteria, us
