Continuous payments Suppose that the payments are made very often. Then by approximation, instead of a sum, we have an integral. It is like the payments are made continuously. Let V (t) be the outstanding fund balance at time t of the cashflow. Assume that contributions are made continuously at an instantaneous rate C(t), then the equation of value is t V (t) = V ()(1 + i) t + C(s)(1 + i) t s ds. (1) 2/1 c 29. Miguel A. Arcones.

(1) appears as the limit of the equation of value for the cashflow: Inflow V () C(t 1 )(t 1 ) C(t 2 )(t 2 t 1 ) C(t n )(t n t n 1 ) Time t 1 t 2 t n as max 1 j n (t j t j 1 ), where = t < t 1 < t 2 < < t m = t. The equation of value at time t for this cashflow is n V (t) = V ()(1 + i) t + C(t j )(t j t j 1 )(1 + i) t t j, which tends to j=1 V (t) = V ()(1 + i) t + t C(s)(1 + i) t s ds as max 1 j n (t j t j 1 ). Recall that the Riemann integral of a function f is defined as t n f (s) ds = f (t j )(t j t j 1 ). lim max 1 j n (t j t j 1 ) j=1 c 29. Miguel A. Arcones. All rights reserved.

Example 1 A continuous year annuity pays a constant rate 1 at time t where t n. Interest is compounded with an annual rate of interest of i. (i) Find the present value of the annuity at time. (ii) Find the future value of the annuity at time n. Solution: (i) The present value of this continuous annuity is PV = n (1 + i) t dt = 1 = e n ln(1+i) n e t ln(1+i) dt = 1 (1 + i) n =. e t ln(1+i) n c 29. Miguel A. Arcones. All rights reserved.

If instead of compound interest, the time value of money follows the accumulation function a(t), then the future value at time t of an initial outstanding balance V () and continuous payments C(s), in the interval s t is t V (t) = V ()a(t) + C(s) a(t) a(s) ds. c 29.
