Time Value Of Money II...Continued

PV:  Present Value:  The value of a dollar today due in the future or in a series of payments, to give an investor a certain yield over a period of time. 

FV:  Future Value:  The value of a dollar at some time in the future from a lump sum payment, or series of payments. Simple example would be a balloon payment due in 5 years, or how much would you have if you saved one dollar a month for five years at 6% compound interest. 

%i:  Yield:  This term is often interchanged with rate of return or interest. 

N:  Number of pay periods: The total number of periodic payments on a note. Usually in terms of months. It can be years, quarterly, semi-annually, or even weekly. 

PMT:  Amount of payments:  The amount of dollars received or paid out in periodic payments to achieve a certain rate of return, and to amortize a loan. 

When one or more of these variables change, it changes the others. The understanding of how theses variables relate, will give you powerful tools that will increase you wealth. 

In this issue, we are going to discuss N, and how N relates to the other variables, specifically PMT

Although N can be any pay period, yearly, semi annually, weekly, or even bi weekly, in this issue, we will be discussing monthly pay periods, because it is the most common. 

The more pay periods, or the larger N, the less PMT will be. The reverse is also true…the shorter N, the higher PMT….in other words… N and PMT have an inverse relationship.  

Is there any doubt that a 30 year amortized loan will have lower payments than a 5 year amortized loan? 

Likewise, if we raise PMT, N will become smaller. By knowing this concept, you can tweak or rearrange notes that will guarantee large yields.  

How can I use this concept in a practical application to make me wealthy?

In the EDUCATION section, there are precise articles that give no nonsense applications, to this principle. Note Professor™ will show you how to increase a 7% yield note into a 25% yield note in the education article (link to "education" section) INCREASE YOUR YIELD BY LOWERING THE INTEREST. So you will know how to easily calculate your yields click on the important education article (link to "education" section) HOW TO DISCOUNT EVEN CASH FLOWS. The Note Professor™ education articles will teach you realistic ways to increase your yield, and your wealth.

Contact the Professor, with your comments or questions. 

In next month's issue, we will discuss the relationship between N and Yield.

There are Big Profits to be made in understanding this relationship.
