Personal Finance
Personal Finance was written by Marc Vandenplas, a specialist
in financial client-server computer applications with an emphasis in the
banking and telecommunications industries. This Electronic Book presents
the basic concepts of personal finance used by experts and novices alike.
It gives you the tools to calculate the value of many common investment
scenarios. The topics are presented in a step-by-step manner, with common
applications in each document. The concepts of Present Value, Future Value
and Internal Rate of Return are defined, and then used to compare effects
of changing interest rates and investment decisions in cases as simple
as savings accounts, to complex models like the effect of education on
lifetime earnings potential.
Topics include: 'Converting Simple Interest to a Continuously Compounding
Rate', 'Straight Line and Accelerated Time Methods of Depreciation', 'Continuous
Discounting Methods', 'Computing the Cash Flow for a Rental Property',
and much more. If you are looking for a practical and interactive way
to handle all of your personal finance needs, this Electronic Book is
a must-have.
