Basic Financial Calculations

Before describing Basic Financial Calculations, it is important to review and understand five basic terms and keys used with the V12.

TERM /

DEFINITION

 

KEY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The number of periods in the financial loan, often

 

 

n

expressed in days, months, or years. The interest

 

 

 

 

 

rate must be defined per period.

 

 

i

The interest rate per period. Often an annual rate

 

 

is converted to monthly by dividing by 12, weekly

 

 

 

 

 

by dividing by 52, or daily by dividing by 365.

 

 

 

 

 

The initial cash value received or paid or the

 

 

PV

 

 

present value of a series of future payments when

 

 

 

 

 

discounted at an interest rate.

 

 

 

 

 

The payment made each period.

 

PMT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The final cash value received or paid or the future

 

 

FV

value of a series of payments assuming an interest

 

 

 

 

 

rate.

When using the V12, four of these five variables must be known to perform a calculation. The unknown variable can then be solved.

Positive and Negative Cash Flows

When performing financial calculations special care must be taken to enter values with the proper sign. A payment or outflow of cash must have a negative sign. A receipt of cash must have a positive sign. For example, the initial cash received in a loan is a positive amount. The payments are negative amounts.

Payment Function

Payments in compounding periods may be made either at the beginning of a period (such as payments in advance, and annuities due), or at the end of a period (such as regular annuities or payments in arrears).
