Hello Everyone,

I have started studying harder and harder 🙂

I am trying to put 6-7 hrs every day. I have one major problem though. I am practicing TVMF problems and I get confused when to use Present values and future values. They are some problems where they give you Present values – annuity and Present values – $ 1 . I get confused should I use the annuity factors or the other. Could anyone please help me on this….thanks a lot.

I just wrapped up B3 with Becker and it was a killer.

Annuity's used when future value of cash flows are consistent (ie, 3 years at 100k). PV of $1 is for varying amounts. Becker MCQs like to mix use in one question (real fun). Ex, for first 4 years of a project it will generate 400k and in the 5th year it generates 100k. Use annuitys for the first 4 years and use pv $1 for the fifth year. Sum it up and that's the PVFCF.

Good luck…I need as much as I can get too.
