How do you differentiate between Future Value, Present Value (Lump Sum) problems when you need to use any of the three formulas in an exam.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

firstly, wogs are greeks and italians only not arabs

secondly, usually by the wording of the question tends to give it away, example if you had someone depositing $200 per month for the next 10 years and they want to get $40000 you can draw inference as too what value that is

Don't start posting just to provoke other members or just to display arrogance.

No arrogance intendend. I would have thought though if you got 10/10 in annuities you'd have it downpat. FUTURE AMOUNTS A= M[(1+r)n-1/R] where A= future amount M= initial amount R= interest rate as a decimal n= time period.
PRESENT VALUE A= P(1+r)n. LUMP SUM N= A
(1+r)n
All interst rates and time frames have to be the same so if its 12% a year and the question asks about monthly instalments make sure you change the rate to monthly E.G 1% per month.
