Positive cash flow - -money that's flowing to user
Rate - -interest rate per period

Pmt - -used to calculate the payment per period based on a specific interest rate and
term
Rate function - -used to calculate the interest rate per period for an investment or loan,
given that you know the present value of the loan, payment amount and number of
payment periods
Nper - -used to calculate the number of payment periods for an investment or loan if you
know the loan amount, interest rate and payment amount
Ppmt - -used to calculate the principal portion of a payment
Ipmt - -used to calculate the interest portion of a payment
Cumimpt - -used to calculate the cumulative amount of interest paid over a specific
number of periods

Coupon - -interest rate the bond pays
Yield - -amount of annual interest expressed as a percentage of par value and
determines how much investors will receive on their investment
Pv - -used to calculate the present and current value of a series of future payments on
an investment assuming all future payments are equal
Fv - -used to calculate the value of an investment with a fixed interest rate and term, as
well as present or current value of a series of future payments on an investment
Npv - -calculate the value of an investment by analyzing a series of future incoming and
outgoing cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of the investment
Xnpv - -used to calculate the value of an investment or business by analyzing an
irregular time series of incoming and outgoing cash flows
Irr - -used to calculate discount rate at which you would break even on an investment; at
point at which the npv of an investment = 0

but the cash flows are irregular or not periodic
Tangible assets - -non-cash assets that are long-lasting material assets not intended for

Double declining balance depreciation - -requires that the straight-line depreciation
method be used first to calculate the total percentage of the asset that's depreciated in
the first year and doubles it
Sln - -asset loses its value in equal amounts each year until it reaches the salvage value
at the end of its useful life
Db - -asset depreciates by a constant percentage each year
Ddb - -calculates the depreciation of an asset, using the double declining balance
