8. If the concern is for the value that existing money will have next year, the formula for the intertemporal value of money can be expressed as follows: Next Year's Value = Present Value (1 + r). For example, if the interest rate is 10% and the present value is $100, the $100 will increase to $110 at the end of a year. a. Using this algebraic expression, show the formula for the present value of future income and calculate what $200 received next year is worth now. b. What is the present value of $100 received 2 years from now?
