2. In a scenario where in there is a higher number of compounding periods within a given year, this will result to: (1) a higher future value of a lump sum investment at Time 0 (2) a lower future value of a lump sum investment at Time 0 (3) a greater present value of a given lump sum to be received at some future date. (4) a lower present value of a given lump sum to be received at some future date. (5) no discrepancy on future value given a lower number of periods (6) no discrepancy on present value given a lower number of periods (7) computation for present value and future value will remain the same given there is a lower number of periods. (8) there will be an effect as to computation for present value and future value specifically in the number of periods and rates being used.
Time value of money question: Envision you are approached with an investment opportunity. You aregiven two alternatives to choose from. Investment A has a higher interest rate than Investment B.Investment A requires a greater number of periods until you receive the benefit than Investment B. Applying concepts from the PV = FV/(1+r)^n (the NPV formula and discounting) describe the process ofhow you would decide which investment option would be better to invest in. Discussing how changes inboth the interest rate and the number of periods would affect this decision will help.
When computing an interest or growth rate, the rate will increase the smaller the future value, holding present value and the number of periods constant. Is this true or false?

In a few sentences, answer the following question as completely as you can. The notion that money has time value is based on the existence of a non–zero opportunity rate (i.e., a rate of return at which it is possible to invest). Why is the opportunity rate so important? Construct an example that shows, with an opportunity rate of 0%, that the value of $1 received today will be $1 in the future.
Which of the following statements is true about the present value factors? The present value factor is the reciprocal of the present value of annuity due factor. The present value factor is also known as the discount factor. The present value factor decreases as the interest rate decreases. The present value factor should always be greater than 1.
