The time value of money means that a rupee received in a year's time is worth

  • A.less than a rupee today
  • B.more than a rupee today
  • C.exactly a rupee today
  • D.less than a rupee today only if inflation is positive

Answer: A

Correct answer: less than a rupee today

A rupee today can be invested and will be worth more than a rupee in a year, so a rupee promised for next year must be worth less now. This holds even with no inflation at all, since the opportunity to earn a return exists regardless - inflation reduces the real value further but is not the cause.
