Evaluating the Financial Impact of Loans and Investments
This week we will see:
Chapter 6 “Evaluating the Financial Impact of Loans and Investments”
Level 1 explores some fundamental financial calculations to evaluate different financing options
Level 2 & 3, these basic concepts are expanded upon to develop a cash flow analysis and an amortization table, which is a schedule for paying off a loan.
You also will learn about Excel tools for calculating depreciation, a technique used to allocate the costs of an asset over its useful life.
Chapter # 6 – Level 1: Objectives (Pages 360 – 377)
Firstly, understand how simple interest and compound interest are calculated (page 360)
Secondly, determine the value of a loan payment (PMT Function) (page 363)
Thirdly, analyze positive and negative cash flows (pages 365)
Fourthly, determine the future value and the present value of a financial transaction (Using the RATE, NPER, PV, and FV Functions (pages 368)
Lastly, determine the interest rate and the number of periods of a financial transaction (page 372)
