Penn Foster Principles of Finance class
#21
Hi Ryoder

The quizzes are 67% and final exam 33% of grade
Quizzes are on financial concepts, institutions, investments, corporate finance

Don’t sweat the final – excel and your calculator are your friends but you must handwrite the answers on the test sheets and additional composition paper – if you choose the right proctor you will have time to work through the problems.
Some of the things you should know
1. chart cash flow, disc cash flow, cum cash flow; calculate payback period and NPV, and answer questions based on results
2. debt net worth ratio and debt to total assets ratio
3. relationship between interest rate and bond prices
4. Gordon growth formula
5. compute FV, PV, preferred stock, bonds, investments
6. break even analysis
7.benefit of Corp vs SP

If you PM me your email address I will send you the study guide. If nothing else it may help you with the dsst exam. Good luck in whatever direction you choose!
