Value of Money
Business decisions are based on the time value of money. Bonds, stocks, loans, and other business investments are valued by determining the present value of an expected cash flow, which is also called discounting the cash flow. The time value of money finds considerable application in the decision-making processes of a business.
In this assignment, you will apply the basic principles of the time value of money to business decisions.

• Calculate the amount the firm would need on the present date as savings to cover the expected liability.
• Calculate the amount the firm would need to set aside at the end of each year for the next ten years to cover the expected liability.
