A cash - flow diagram is a graphical representation of cash flows drawn on a time scale. Arrow Convention: arrows directed upward
represents positive cash flow or cash inflow (receipts).
arrows directed downward represents negative cash flow or cash outflow (disbursement)
Single Payment Cash Flow - can occur at the beginning of
the time line ( t 0= ), at the end of the time line ( t n= ), or any time in between.
Uniform Series Cash Flow - consists of a series of equal
payments A starting at t 1= and ending at t n= .
Gradient Series Cash Flow - starts with a cash flow G at
t 2= , and increases by G each year until t n= , at which time the final cash flow is (n 1)G .

IV. RATES OF INTEREST
Nominal Rate of Interest (NRI): Nominal rate of interest specifies the rate of interest and the number of
interest periods per year. r im="
Where: r = nominal rate of interest i = interest rate per period m = number of periods
Thus, a nominal rate of interest of 6% compounded monthly simply means that there are 12 interest periods each year. The rate per interest period being:
r 6%i 0.5%m 12
= = =" " Note: For compound interest, the rate of interest usually quoted is the NRI. In
order to accurately reflect time - value considerations, NRI must be converted into ERI before applying the formulas for compound interest.
Effective Rate of Interest (ERI): mERI (1 i) 1= + " Where: ER = Effective Rate of Interest i = interest per interest period r
m=
m = number of periods p Effective Interest Rate for Continuous Compounding: rERI e 1= " Where: r = Nominal rate of interest

41. A copying machine has a useful life of 3 years and a salvage value of P
20,000 was bought for P 135,000. If the owner decides to sell after using it for 2 years, how much should the selling price be so that he will not lose or gain if the interest is 5%. (Hint: apply the Sinking Fund method).
