Discount Rate - AnswerUsed interchangeably with interest rates, especially in use of discounting cash flows
Opportunity Cost - AnswerThe gain that is missed by not investing in a particular investment
Effective Annual Rate - AnswerThe actualy rate of interst that is actually being earned after compounding more than annually
Continuous Compounding - Answer1. Multiply rate by time
2. Multiple answer by e (Second LN)
3. Multiply by PV
Present Value of Perpetuity - AnswerFinancial instrument that pays a fixed amount of money at set intervals over an infinite period of time
Present Value of a Projected Perpetuity - Answer1. Calculate PV of Perpetuity
2. Find present value of (N -1)
PV of Uneven Cash Flows - Answer1. Clear Memory 2. Enter 0 in CF0
3. Enter Cash Flows in Sequence
4. NPV = Discount Rate
5. ComputeT NPV
FV of Uneven Cash Flows - Answer1. Calculate the FV of each individual Cash Flow
2: Then add the results together
Calculating the Growth Rate - AnswerOr use TMV calculator
1. N = Periods, PV = PV, PMT = 0, FV = FV

(Use the Unequal Cash flow method.)
NPV - AnswerPresent Value of expected cash inflows minus the present value of the expected outflows, discounted at the appropriate rate.
Use the Calculator (Cash Flow): Set CF0 = 0 (for profit)
Set CF0 = Initial negative outflow (for total NPV)
IRR - AnswerDiscount rate that makes NPV equal to zero
Use Calculator (Cash Flows):
1.CF0 = Initial Cash Outlay
2.CF1.....CFn
3.Compute IRR
