r = risk rate
n = time periods
number of periods
Value r = 5%
r = 10%

r = rate
n = time periods
FutureValue?
(1 + r )
n
r = 10% or 0.10
n = 5 years
(1 + 0.10)5
(1.10)5
1.61
FutureValue?
Future Value = Amount Today x Factor
$161 = $100 x 1.61
Future Value is compounding
Future Value is multiplying
PresentValue?
Present Value = Future Amount ÷ Factor
Present Value = $500 ÷ 1.61
$310.56 = $500 ÷ 1.61
Present Value is discounting
Present Value is dividing
Finance
Unknown - Present Value or Future Value?
Must know rate and number of periods
Compute Factor with formula
(1+r)n
If FV multiply
If PV divide

Who Measures?
Department of Labor
Bureau of Labor Statistics
Two Surveys
The Current Population Survey (CPS) "household
survey" Sample of 60,000 households.
The Current Employment Statistics Survey (CES):
"payroll survey" sample of 160,000 businesses and
government agencies that represent 400,000 individual
employees.
Labor Force
Participation Rate
The percent of the Adult
Population that is in the
Labor Force
Labor Force Participation Rate
Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) = 900 ÷ 1300
Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) = .692 or 69.2%
Adults 16+ In the Labor Force
900
Not in the Labor Force
400
Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) = In the Labor Force ÷ Adults
Unemployment Rate
In the Labor Force Employed
850
Unemployed
50
Unemployment Rate = 50 ÷ 900
Unemployment Rate = .056 or 5.6%
Unemployment Rate = Unemployed ÷ Labor Force
Labor Force = Employed + Unemployed
3,000 people live in Pooleynesia. There are
250 people under 16. 450 people are not
in the labor force. 230 people are
unemployed.
