Part 1

The following situations test your comprehension of time value of money concepts. You will need your financial calculator or Excel. For each problem write the variable from the problem next to the variable in your calculator menu. Put a question mark next to the variable we are solving for, and put the answer to that variable on the “Answer” line.

Remember that there has to be a negative number in your calculations for the formulas to work. If you get an error message on your calculator go back and make one of the dollar variables negative……usually the PV factor .
