Introduction to Spreadsheet

Excel financial functions
Present Value, P: = (i%,n,A,F) Future Value, F: = (i%,n,A,P) Equal, periodic value, A: = (i%,n,P,F) Number of periods, n: = (i%,A,P,F) Compound interest rate, i: = (n,A,P,F) Compound interest rate, i: = (first_cell:last_cell) Present value, any series, P: = (i%,second_cell:last_cell) +
Example: Estimates are P = $5000 n = 5 years i = 5% per year Find A in $ per year Function and display: = (5%, 5, -5000) displays A = $1154.
Assume
Transaction s
Example: Finding Present Value
A small company wants to make a single deposit now so it will have enough money to purchase a backhoe costing $50,000 five years from now. If the account will earn interest of 10% per year, the amount that must be deposited now is nearest to:
(A) $10,000 (B) $ 31,050 (C) $ 33,250 (D) $319,
The cash flow diagram is: Solution: P = F(P/F,i,n ) = 50,000( )

Uniform Series Involving P/A
and A/P
The cash flow diagrams are:
Standard Factor Notation
(1) Cash flow occurs in interest periods
The uniform series factors that involve P and A are derived as fo
(2) Cash flow amount is in each interest period
Uniform Series Involving F/A
and A/F
(1) Cash flow occurs in consecutive interest periods
The uniform series factors that involve F and A are derived as fo
(2) Last cash flow occurs in same period as F
Cash flow diagrams are:
Standard Factor Notation
Example: Uniform Series
Involving F/A An industrial engineer made a modification to a chip manufacturing process that will save her company $10,000 per year. At an interest rate of 8% per year, how much will the savings amount to in 7 years?
(A) $45,300 (B) $68,500 (C) $89,228 (D) $151, The cash flow diagram is:
A = $10,
i = 8% 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Answer is ( )
Example: Untabulated i
Determine the value for (F/P, 8.3%,10)
Formula: F = (1 + 0.083)^10 = 2. Spreadsheet: = FV(8.3%,10,,1) = 2. Interpolation: 8% ------ 2. 8.3% ------ x 9% ------ 2.
x = 2.1589 + [(8.3 - 8.0)/(9.0 - 8.0)][2.3674 – 2.1589] = 2.
Absolute Error = 2.2215 – 2.2197 = 0.
OK OK

Arithmetic Gradients
G starts between periods 1 and 2 (not between 0 and 1)
This is because cash flow in year 1 is usually not equal to G and is handled separately as a base amount (shown on next slide)
Note that PG is located Ahead of the first change that is equal to G Standard factor notation is PG = G(P/G,i,n)
Converting Arithmetic Gradient
to A
i = 10% 0 1 2 3 4 5
G 2G (^) 3G 4G
i = 10% 0 1 2 3 4 5
Arithmetic gradient can be converted into equivalent A value using G
General equation when base amount is involved is A = base amount + G(A/G,i,n) 0 1 2 3 4 5
4G
3G
2G G
For decreasing gradients, change plus sign to minus
A = base amount - G(A/G,i,n)
Example: Arithmetic Gradient
= 400(3.6048) + 30(6.3970) = $1,633. Answer is ( )
PT = 400( ,12%,5) + 30( ,12%,5)
The cash flow could also be converted A = ____ + 30(into an^ A^ value as follows: ,12%,5) = 400 + 30(1.7746) = $453.
Solution:
