LECTURE TIPS

1 The concept of future value is not used much in accounting The present value concept should be emphasized The future value concept is mostly useful to distinguish it from the present value concept

2 Students often understand the difference between the ordinary annuity and the annuity due better after they have attempted to reconstruct the first few lines of tables A-5 and A-6 using an excel spreadsheet Most students need to work with several examples before they will be able to select the right table when applying these concepts
