Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of future value in the context of the time value of money. Future value refers to the amount of money an investment will grow to over time, given a specific interest rate and compounding periods.

Recognize that compounding interest is a key component of future value calculations. Compounding involves earning interest not only on the principal amount but also on the accumulated interest from previous periods.

Eliminate options that are unrelated to future value calculations. For example, calculating depreciation expense and recording historical cost of assets are accounting tasks that do not involve the time value of money.

Understand the difference between compounding and discounting. Discounting is used to calculate present value, not future value, so this option is not relevant to the question.

Conclude that the correct answer is 'Compounding interest over one or more periods,' as it directly relates to future value calculations in the context of the time value of money.
