That depends on the specifics of the details. For a long loan varying the time of investment might not make much difference since the proportion of the change is small while the interest rate will have a large impact. For a short loan varying the interest rate might not have time to have much impact while variations in the length might make a large impact (being bigger changes proportionally). The two depend on each other too much to have a general rule about which has a bigger impact, you need to first narrow your region of interest down to a general range of rates and times and then see which has a bigger impact in that region with some quick calculations.
Fn = P (1 + r )n where F n = accumulation or future value P = one-time investment today r = interest rate per period n = number of periods from today
The present value of future cash flows is inversely related to the interest rate.
The Present Value Interest Factor PVIF is used to find the present value of future payments, by discounting them at some specific rate. It decreases the amount. It is always less than oneBut, the Future Value Interest Factor FVIF is used to find the future value of present amounts. It increases the present amount. It is always greater than one.
What is the future value of $1,200 a year for 40 years at 8 percent interest? Assume annual compounding.
Assuming the interest is compounded annually, the future value is 100*(1.04)10 = 100*1.4802 (approx) = 148.02
Increases
No, the future value of an investment does not increase as the number of years of compounding at a positive rate of interest declines. The future value is directly proportional to the number of compounding periods, so as the number of years of compounding decreases, the future value of the investment will also decrease.
The FV function calculates the future value of an investment.
$1480.24
The new value to a loan or investment after interest.
It is a financial function. It returns the future value of an investment based on an interest rate and a constant payment schedule. So if you are paying in a set amount on a regular basis, like every month, and there is a fixed interest rate, it can work out how much your investment will be worth. See the link below for more details.
Future Value
If the interest is simple interest, then the value at the end of 5 years is 1.3 times the initial investment. If the interest is compounded annually, then the value at the end of 5 years is 1.3382 times the initial investment. If the interest is compounded monthly, then the value at the end of 5 years is 1.3489 times the initial investment.
Future Value Calculator Use this calculator to determine the future value of an investment which can include an initial deposit and a stream of periodic deposits.

The present value of future cash flows is inversely related to the interest rate.
It depends how the interest is calculated. If it's compounded, your initial 500 investment would be worth 638.15 after 5 years.
