To Access This Course:
Time value of money acknowledges that money has a different value today than it does in the future. In simplest terms, it can be described with the question “Would you rather have $100,000 today or $100,000 10 years from now?” Most would rather have the $100,000 today because they could invest it and earn more. Excel's time value of money functions permit you to quantify the value of $100,000 today versus $100,000 ten years from now in a variety of ways. This course explores Excel Time Value of Money Functions for CPAs.

This CPE course took me longer than expected but was a useful tool in learning these PV/FV functions. They even had a couple I've never heard of before.
