19 Oct materials this week
This week, you were asked to access a number of videos and websites. These are great resources to help you learn the materials this week. Consider what type of resource you find most helpful in learning new materials (videos, examples, text, etc). Then consider which topic you struggled with the most this week. Complete an online search for a new resource that will help you with that topic.

This week I have considered something different. The NPV calculation is difficult. In a prior course I created a spreadsheet to figure it by simply plugging in the numbers. I tried it on this and to check it I used two NPV calculators from web sites. I got the same answer using both calculators, but my excel sheet provided a different answer.
I typically am at ease with algebraic formulas, but for some reason the NPV gives me fits. The calculators are a good aid. I feel they are somehow similar to the mortgage calculators you can find on real estate websites.
It may seem odd but using the calculator has helped me see how the NPV is figured because it broke out the payback portion by year. By doing so it helped me see how the formula works.
Below are links to the two NPV calculators I used to check my work.

This week’s reading was a little challenging to follow in the textbook. The definitions are straightforward, but for this week’s discussion question it was hard applying these concepts in a problem. For me, I specifically used the example of real estate investing for the discussion question. To help me figure out my budget, I used a few websites for my calculations. The first one I used was the website Investopedia, which has been suggested by a lot of classmates. I used it as tool to help me calculate the Net Present Value, as a result I was able to go through the calculation step-by-step and determine if my example would produce a negative or positive cash flow. Additionally, I looked up how a payback period is used in real-estate. Not only did it explain the benefits of calculating this concept, but also the drawback it has on investments (Mansur, 2019). For example, it does not calculate the inflation rate and this may create a problem in determing the period it will take to generate a profit.
