Electronic spreadsheets:
Like financial calculators, electronic spreadsheets have
built-in routines that simplify time value calculations.
In this text:
The value for each variable is entered in a cell in the
spreadsheet, and the calculation is programmed using an
equation that links the individual cells.
Changing any of the input variables automatically changes the
solution as a result of the equation linking the cells.
PV (1 + 0.06) = $300
PV = CF r
Suppose you want to buy a house 5 years from now, and you
estimate that an initial down payment of $30,000 will be
required at that time. To accumulate the $30,000, you will wish
to make equal annual end-of-year deposits into an account
paying annual interest of 6 percent.
