Interest rates have been so low for so long that some have forgotten that money isn't free.

Ben Franklin knew better, cautioning that; if you would know the value of money, just go and try to borrow some;

As interest rates return to historical norms, it is critical for businesses to deploy their scarce financial resources efficiently. Fortunately, Excel gives us a powerful array of tools that can help us analyze even the most complex financial scenarios.

This live program will explain and demonstrate:

• The kinds of financial calculations Excel can make;
• Setting up your source data for financial calculations, including how to input dates and interest rates so they will be computed correctly;
• The calculation of the Present Value, Future Value and Internal Rate of Return for a stream of payments;
• How to compute payments on a level debt reduction loan like a mortgage; and
• Excel resources for evaluating investments and capital allocation.

There will be plenty of time for questions, so come prepared.
