compound functions on spreadsheet


The investment analysis of property often requires the investment analysis of "partial instruments". That is, parties other than the freehold owner have interests in the property. For example:

* Lessee and lessors' interests

* Mortgagee and mortgagors' interests.

Because such interests have a time period less than perpetuity they cannot be valued with the present value of an annuity in perpetuity or the "capitalization method":

MV = NAI * 100/CR

Where:

MV = market value

NAI = net annual income

CR = capitalization rate as a %


The investment analysis of partial interests requires the use of the 4 basic compound formulae. Using computer and financial calculator notation:

* FV = future value

* PV = present value

* FVPMT = future value of an annuity or payment

* PVPMT = present value of an annuity or payment

ALL compound functions can be calculated knowing 3 of the following input s (based on financial calculator notation):

n = number of periods

I = interest rate as a % (i = interest rate as a decimal)

PMT = payment or annuity eg rent

FV = future value

PV = present value

In this part we will construct a useful spreadsheet which can be used to value any compound function.


STAGE 1   SET UP MAIN WINDOW

Using excel notation:

A1: FUTURE & PRESENT VALUES OF A LUMP SUM

A2: (underline)

E4: INPUTS

E5: (underline)

A8: PERIODS (n):

A10: INTEREST RATE PER PERIOD %:

A12: PRESENT VALUE (PV):

A14: FUTURE VALUE (FV):

A17:ANSWER

A19:=IF(E12=0,A12,A14)


E8: 35

E10: 8

E12:0

E14: 1000

E17: underline

E19: =IF(E12=0;(1/base)^E8*E14;(base^E8*E12))

G8: BASE

G12: IF NOT NEEDED ENTER “0”

G14: IF NOT NEEDED ENTER “0”

H8: =1+E10/100 should show 1.08

Name G8 “base:”

This shows a present value answer of $67.63. That is, the present value of $1000 in 35 years time at 8%pa = $67.63.

Enter a present value of 1000. What would it accumulate to compounding at 7%pa over 35 years?

The answer should be $14 785.34.

Save the spreadsheet as CV1.

The resultant spreadsheet should look like this:




Click on sheet 1 tab and rename “LUMP SUMS”

ANNUITIES

Retrieve file CV1.

Copy the active cells of sheet one by highlighting, copy and paste to sheet 2.

Cut cells A12:A14 and paste at A19.

Clear cells G12 and G14.

G12: ANNUITY OR PERIODIC PAYMENT:

Delete row 14

Name E8:”nn”

E10”II”

E12: “PMT1”

H8: “base”

Enter:

E18: =(1-1/base1^nn)/(II/100)*PMT1

E20:=(base1^nn-1)/(II/100)*PMT1

This will shows that an annuity or periodic payment of $1000 has a present value of $11654.57 and a future value of $172316.8.

Save file CV2.

The spreadsheet will look like this:
