Annuity due = pmts at beginning
Ordinary = pmts at end
What is the difference between a simple annuity and a general annuity?

N = 999
When discounting to the beginning of an ordinary annuity at the end of year 5, how many years are there?
4
What are the variables in:
FV = PMT x s[[n, j(m)]]
FV = future value
PMT = payment
s[[n, j(m)] = “S-N-J” future value of $1 per period at…
n = periods
j = nominal rate
m = compounding frequency
What do FAL and PAL stand for?
Fully amortized loan/partially amortized loan
How do you calculate balances with accelerated biweekly payments?

When is APR preferred over COFA?
When payments (in either direction) are irregular
NPV calculation uses which buttons?
CF (cash flow) and NPV
When do you use the NJ button?
To enter groups of payments sequentially (enter number of terms)
What is PVR?
Present value ratio = NPV / cost
What is the profitability index?
= PV positive CF’s / PV negative CF’s
NPV pros & cons
Pro:: comparing similar size investments
Con: does not consider investment size
What does PVR give you?
How much you gain per $ invested
What does profitability index allow/give?
Allows different interest rates for negative and positive flows. Accounts for investment size.
Above 1 means satisfies investment criteria.
What does IRR do?
Gives the “break-even” rate. Assumes reinvestment.
How to calculate IRR?
Enter reinvestment rate, then CF’s no cost, then NPV, then SWAP (gives NFV), enter - as FV and cost as PV to ger I/YR (IRR)
How to calculate IRR ignoring reinvestment?
Use desired yield, enter CF’s, get NPV, add back cost, press IRR
What do financial ratios not account for?
Affordability, risk, liquidity, management requirements, and magnitude of the investment
When comparing investments, which timeline should be used?
Longest
