Continuous Money Flow: Present Value Problems
TLDRThe video script presents a comprehensive guide on calculating the present value of a continuous money flow, emphasizing the importance of accurately determining the revenue stream. It introduces three distinct examples to illustrate the process. The first example deals with a constant revenue stream, where a fixed annual income of $40,000 is received over eight years at an interest rate of 7.45%. The second example involves a revenue stream that increases annually by 4.25%, starting from a base salary of $52,000 over 23 years. The third example features a revenue stream that increases by a fixed amount of $1,000 each year, beginning with $11,000 in the first year and continuing for six years at a 4.55% interest rate. The script highlights the use of integral calculus, including the application of exponential functions and integration by parts, to solve these financial problems. It concludes by recommending the use of a tool like Desmos for evaluating the integrals and emphasizes the setup of the problems as the key to successful calculation.

๐งฎ Present Value of Constant Revenue Stream
This paragraph introduces the concept of calculating the present value of a continuous money flow. The general formula for present value is presented as an integral from 'a' to 'b' of the revenue stream multiplied by e^(-rt), where 'r' is the interest rate and 't' is time. The first example features a constant revenue stream of $40,000 annually for eight years at an interest rate of 7.45%. The integral setup is shown, and the method of integration using the u-substitution rule for the exponential function is explained. The process involves dividing the constant revenue by the interest rate and evaluating the antiderivative from the present time (0) to the future time (8 years).
๐ Present Value with Increasing Revenue by Percentage
The second paragraph discusses a scenario where the revenue stream increases annually by a percentage. It outlines a case where a person, Garrett, is to receive the present value of an income that increases by 4.25% per year over 23 years, starting from an initial income of $52,000. The approach to handling percentage increases is described, which involves starting with the current salary and multiplying it by e^(0.042t). The integral for the present value is then set up, and the method for combining the two exponentials by adding the exponents is explained. The integration process involves calculating the antiderivative and evaluating it from the present to the future time frame.
๐ Present Value with Linearly Increasing Revenue
The final paragraph addresses a situation where the revenue increases by a constant amount each year, rather than by a percentage. An example is given where a machine generates an income that starts at $11,000 in the first year and increases by $1,000 each subsequent year. This results in a linear revenue function. The paragraph explains the integration process for such a scenario, which requires integration by parts due to the combination of a linear and an exponential function. The integral for the present value is set up for a period of six years with an interest rate of 4.55%. The process involves differentiating and antidifferentiating the functions, and then combining them to find the present value, which is evaluated from the present time to six years in the future.
