FINANCE V2.1 - Loan and Bond Analysis Program
----------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCE will help anybody who wishes to do (or to learn to do)
basic financial analysis such as mortgage and loan analysis,
bond analysis, compound interest problems, and capital budgeting
analysis. The program is NOT a "black box" and will provide you
with the setup and solution procedure for each problem. It was
originally developed at a university for teaching basic finance.
Loans - Monthly payment, unpaid balance at the end of N periods,
and the interest paid and amortization schedule for Nth year. In
addition, the loan payment can be calculated for any type of re-
payment schedule (monthly, weekly, semiannual, etc.). Amortiz-
ation schedules are correct according to Truth in Lending. They
do not compute Rule of 72 or Add-On Interest.
Bonds - Calculation of bond price, annual bond yield to maturity,
realized yield with different reinvestment rates, duration and
elasticity.
Compound Interest Problems - One deposit, future value; Periodic
fixed deposits, future value; Desired final value, required ini-
tial deposit; Desired final value, required periodic deposits.
Capital Budgeting - This section is now done by a separate program
CAPBUD. It can handle 256 accounting items for 360 periods. It is
available from CHI for $50 US. CPDEMO on this disk is a demo version
of CAPBUD limited to 15 line items and with the file save feature
disabled. Write to CHI for further details. Version 3.1 of CAPBUD
is currently being shipped.
FINANCE uses single-key menu selection, all problem setups are
done by answering a series of questions, and the F2 key is used
to change mistaken entries. FINANCE requires an IBM PC with
128K (FINANCE takes 78K of memory), a single disk drive, an 80
column display and PC DOS 2.0 or higher. A documentation file
FINANCE.DOC is provided on the disk. To run, load the diskette
into Drive A: and type: FINANCE
New feature for Version 2.1 is the use of F2 and Esc to edit
problem setups for quick solutions to alternative problems with
different interest rates or loan periods. Program is completely
converted to full screen for the IBM PC. Version 1.0 was not.
