Single Payment Factors (F/P and P/F)
Single Payment Factors (F/P and P/F)
Single payment factors involve only P and F. Cash flow diagrams are as follows:
F = P(1 + i ) n P = F[1 / (1 + i ) n
]
Formulas are as follows:
Terms in parentheses or brackets are called factors. Values are in tables for i and n values
Factors are represented in standard factor notation such as (F/P,i,n),
where letter to left of slash is what is sought; letter to right represents what is given

F/P and P/F for Spreadsheets
F/P and P/F for Spreadsheets
Future value F is calculated using FV function:
= FV(i%,n,,P)
Present value P is calculated using PV function:
= PV(i%,n,,F)
Note the use of double commas in each function

Example: Finding Future Value
A person deposits $5000 into an account which pays interest at a rate of 8%
per year. The amount in the account after 10 years is closest to:
(A) $2,792 (B) $9,000 (C) $10,795 (D) $12,165
The cash flow diagram is:
Solution:
F = P(F/P,i,n )
= 5000(F/P,8%,10 )
= $10,794.50
Answer is (C)
= 5000(2.1589)

Example: Finding Present Value
A small company wants to make a single deposit now so it will have enough money to
purchase a backhoe costing $50,000 five years from now. If the account will earn
interest of 10% per year, the amount that must be deposited now is nearest to:
(A) $10,000 (B) $ 31,050 (C) $ 33,250 (D) $319,160
The cash flow diagram is: Solution:
P = F(P/F,i,n )

The cash flow diagrams are:
Standard Factor Notation
P = A(P/A,i,n) A = P(A/P,i,n)
Note: P is one period Ahead of first A value
(1) Cash flow occurs in consecutive interest periods
The uniform series factors that involve P and A are derived as follows:
(2) Cash flow amount is same in each interest period

treatment polymer, his company would earn an extra $5000 per year. At an interest
rate of 10% per year, how much could the company afford to spend now to just
break even over a 5 year project period?

rate of 8% per year, how much will the savings amount to in 7 years?
(A) $45,300 (B) $68,500 (C) $89,228 (D) $151,500

Factor Values for Untabulated i or n
Factor Values for Untabulated i or n
3 ways to find factor values for untabulated i or n values
Use formula
Use spreadsheet function with corresponding P, F, or A value set to 1
Linearly interpolate in interest tables
Formula or spreadsheet function is fast and accurate
Interpolation is only approximate

2-12
Example: Untabulated i
Example: Untabulated i
Determine the value for (F/P, 8.3%,10)
Formula: F = (1 + 0.083)10
= 2.2197
Spreadsheet: = FV(8.3%,10,,1) = 2.2197
Interpolation: 8% ------ 2.1589
8.3% ------ x
9% ------ 2.3674
x = 2.1589 + [(8.3 - 8.0)/(9.0 - 8.0)][2.3674 – 2.1589]
= 2.2215
Absolute Error = 2.2215 – 2.2197 = 0.0018

Arithmetic Gradients
Arithmetic Gradients
Arithmetic gradients change by the same amount each period
The cash flow diagram for the PG
of an arithmetic gradient is: G starts between
G starts between periods 1 and 2
periods 1 and 2
(not between 0 and 1)
(not between 0 and 1)
This is because cash flow in year 1 is
usually not equal to G and is handled
separately as a base amount
(shown on next slide)

The cash flow could also be converted
into an A value as follows:

Pg = ?
There are no tables for geometric factors
Use following equation for g ≠ i:
Pg = A1{1- [(1+g)/(1+i)]n
}/(i-g)
where: A1 = cash flow in period 1
g = rate of increase
If g = i, Pg = A1n/(1+i)
Note: If g is negative, change signs in front of both g values

Unknown Interest Rate i
(Usually requires a trial and error solution or interpolation in interest tables)
Can use either the P/A or A/P factor. Using A/P:
Solution:
60,000(A/P,i%,10) = 16,000
(A/P,i%,10) = 0.26667
From A/P column at n = 10 in the interest tables, i is between 22% and 24% Answer is (d)
Procedure: Set up equation with all symbols involved and solve for i

2-20
Unknown Recovery Period n
Unknown Recovery Period n
Unknown recovery period problems involve solving for n,
given i and 2 other values (P, F, or A)
(Like interest rate problems, they usually require a trial & error solution or interpolation in interest tables)
Procedure: Set up equation with all symbols involved and solve for n
A contractor purchased equipment for $60,000 that provided income of $8,000
per year. At an interest rate of 10% per year, the length of time required to recover
the investment was closest to:
(a) 10 years (b) 12 years (c) 15 years (d) 18 years
Can use either the P/A or A/P factor. Using A/P:
Solution:
60,000(A/P,10%,n) = 8,000
(A/P,10%,n) = 0.13333
From A/P column in i = 10% interest tables, n is between 14 and 15 years Answer is (c)
