In this course, you will learn how to determine the maturity value of an investment using the principles of compound interest. You will also be able to determine the present value if you are provided with the future (or final) value of an investment.
In this course, you will be provided with a base set of course notes which you can use while you are watching the videotaped lectures and simultaneously working through the exercises. The course could take about three to four days to complete but this may vary among different students. There are lots of quizzes built in throughout the course to test your understanding of the materials at different stages.
To fully appreciate the concepts of Compound Interest and how time and rates affect the value of currency, you may wish to go over the learning materials found in the Basics of Simple Interest . Be sure that you have a financial calculator with you as you are going through the examples. If you do not have such a calculator, a scientific calculator with exponent function and a logarithm function will suffice.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to use the message system to ask! I am always checking to see how my students are progressing through their courses.
