19. with Microsoft Office 2007 Introductory© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall19 Use Financial Functions Interest = The amount charged for use of borrowed money. Interest percentage = Rate. The initial amount of loan = Present value (Pv).

20. with Microsoft Office 2007 Introductory© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall20 Use Financial Functions Principal = The total amount that a series of future payments is worth now. The number of time periods (No# of payments) = nper. The value at the end of the time periods is Future value (Fv). The future value is usually zero for loans (need to pay them off).

22. with Microsoft Office 2007 Introductory© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall22 Use Goal Seek Goal Seek is a method to find a specific value for a cell by adjusting the value of one other cell. –Goal Seek works backward from the desired outcome, to find the input necessary to achieve the goal. –Goal Seek is one of Excel’s What-If Analysis tools.

23. with Microsoft Office 2007 Introductory© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall23 Use Goal Seek

24. with Microsoft Office 2007 Introductory© 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall24 Create a Data Table Data Table : –a range of cells that show how changing certain values will affect the results –makes it easy to calculate multiple versions in one operation, and then view and compare the results A One-variable data table will change the value in only one cell. A Two-variable data tables will change the values in two cells.
