Function InvestmentSingleFutureValue(PresentValue, PeriodicRate)

InvestmentSingleFutureValue

The function InvestmentSingleFutureValue returns the future value, the cash balance, of a payment made at this moment, present value, with periodic interest rates.

InvestmentSingleFutureValue(
    PresentValue,            ! (input) numerical expression
    PeriodicRate             ! (input) one-dimensional numerical expression
    )

Arguments

PresentValue

Payment made at the start of the first period. PresentValue must be a real number. If PresentValue is a negative number it represents an outgoing amount and when it is a positive number it represents an incoming amount.

PeriodicRate

Interest rates which differ per period. PeriodicRate is a one-dimensional parameter, which should contain at least one nonzero number. The periods must be equally spaced in time and the interest rates must be ordered.

Return Value

The function InvestmentSingleFutureValue returns the future value of the present value, using the periodic interest rates.

Equation

The future value \(v_f\) is computed through the equation

\[v_f = v_p\prod_{i=1}^n(1+r_i)\]

where \(v_p\) is the present value, and \(r_i\) the variable, periodic interest rates.

Note

  • This function can be used in an objective function or constraint and the input parameters PresentValue and PeriodicRate can be used as a variable.

  • The function InvestmentSingleFutureValue is similar to the Excel function FVSCHEDULE.
