Re: Present Value
Hi MIF;
Looks good. Thanks for the page.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Hi;
For someone whose business acumen consists of only knowing when they overcharged me it is quite intimidating. But I think I got it!

Re: Present Value
Hi MathsIsFun
Been away, so only just seen this. Looks good and it is clear.
Just one suggestion.
About 3/4 down, where you are using a calculator, you say
1.10 to power 6 is better than 1.10 x 1.10 x 1.10 x 1.10 x 1.10 x 1.10
Could you say is quicker to calculate ?

Quicker is better, so better will become quicker.
