Answer all questions in this workbook. Be sure to read the introductory text on tabs 1 and 3 as well as these instructions.
Keep in mind that the focus of this project is corporate finance. The information generated by the accounting system is important; but in finance, decisions are driven by an analysis of cash flows rather than profits.
Tab 1 contains a series of exercises on the concept of the time value of money. These exercises do not relate directly to the issues facing LGI.
Tab 2 focuses on the concept of annuities. The first few questions do not pertain specifically to LGI; the latter questions do.
Tab 3 pertains to whether LGI should acquire new assets that may enhance the company’s productivity and thus improve financial performance.

Time value of money (TVM) exercises
There are five variables in TVM calculations: present value, number of periods, rate of return, regular payments, and future value. If four of the variables are known, then the fifth can be calculated using algebra, a financial calculator, or a computer program such as Excel.
Excel functions for the five variables are as follows:
PV—present value
NPER—number of periods
RATE—rate of return
PMT—regular payments
FV—future value
