What is the future value of an asset or cash at a specified date in the future that is equal in value to a specified amount today? You can use a formula to determine that—the future value formula: FV=PV (1+i)n. In this module you will learn more than the formula. You will learn why knowing the future value is such an important concept to understand when planning your financial future.

What is present value? There’s a formula you can use to determine present value, but why does present value matter? Well, suppose that you want to have a certain amount of money in the future—say $25,000 to make a down payment on a home. How much do you have to put away today to achieve that goal? Or, what if you win the lottery—do you take a lump sum payment today or equal payments over the next 26 years? Present value is a tool to help you make choices like these.

The purpose of this task is to give students an opportunity to explore various aspects of exponential models (e.g., distinguishing between constant absolute growth and constant relative growth, solving equations using logarithms, applying compound interest formulas) in the context of a real world problem with ties to developing financial literacy skills.

The financial security that comes with wealth accumulation requires an understanding of the time value of money. Students begin this module with a lesson on opportunity cost, the most fundamental consideration in any personal financial decision. Students move on to a lesson on interest where they will recognize the importance of interest in sheltering them from the higher cost of living they are certain to experience in later years. The increase in their future costs will be due to inflation, the third subject they will encounter in this program. Students will use their knowledge of opportunity cost, interest and inflation to determine the future value of investments they may make as young adults and the present value of a sum of money they hope to have at a later date.
