Dear NINJAs,
Do you now if time value of money is on the FAR exam?
If so, do they ask the very complex questions that I see in my review course? – Terri
Dear Terri,
Your CPA Review course may be over-doing it.
For the most part, the TVM calculations for FAR aren't as in-depth as they are for BEC, where topics like Capital Budgeting are tested.
For FAR, you will need to know the difference between two different cash flows using a table and pick the correct number.
An example from NINJA MCQ would be:
Make sure you know the difference between an Annuity Due and an Ordinary Annuity.
For example – with Lease Payments (from the NINJA Notes):
Annuity Due
o Payments begin at the start of the lease
o Think: Rent is Due at the first of the month
Ordinary Annuity
o Payments begin after the end of the first year
o Think: An annuity that pays you at end of year
