Time Value of Money

Time value of money is the principle that money available today is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its earning potential. It forms the basis of discounting, present value, and investment appraisal techniques. Accountants apply this concept when evaluating loans, leases, long-term projects, and financial instruments.
