Prac�cal Exercises: Review of Excel spreadsheets concepts including func�ons and graphs
from [1]: Part Five Excel Skills. Prac�cal work to be performed using Excel spreadsheets for
the modeling of the following type of problems:
1. Calcula�ng future value, present value, and present value of an annuity. Use of Excel
func�ons FV, PV, NPV, and PMT. [1]: Chapter 2, Exercises 1,3,5, and 7 pages 46-47.
2. Calcula�ng net-present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). NPV vs IRR. Use
of Excel func�ons NPV and IRR. [1]: Chapter 3, Exercises 1 to 3 pages 99-100.
3. Crea�ng loan and amor�za�on table. Use of Excel func�ons IPMT and PPMT.
[1]: Chapter 4, Exercises 1 to 3 pages 132-133.
4. Compu�ng effec�ve annual interest rate (EAIR), using func�on IRR, and XIRR (for dates,
not evenly spaced). [1]: Chapter 5, Exercises 1, 4, 7, and 9 pages 169-171.
5. Calcula�ng bond price and yield to maturity (YTM) of a bond. Use of Excel func�ons
PRICE, YIELD, IRR, and XIRR (for non-periodic cash flows).
[2]: Models 2, and 3 pages 276-279.
6. Compu�ng dura�on, modified dura�on, and convexity of a bond. Use of Excel func�ons
DURATION, and MDURATION.
[2]: Models 4, and 5 pages 280-284.
7. Compu�ng payoffs of call and put op�ons, and draw profit diagrams in Excel.
[1]: Chapter 17, Exercises 1 to 4 pages 572-574.
8. Studying and comparing op�on strategies: Bear spread, Bull spread, and Buterfly
spread, and draw corresponding profit diagrams in Excel.
[1]: Chapter 17, Exercises 18, 19, and 21 pages 581-583.
9. Using Black-Scholes formulae to find prices of call and put op�ons.
[1]: Chapter 19, Exercises 1 to 4 page 626.
10. Using binomial model to find prices of call and put op�ons, and Excel tree diagram.
[1]: Chapter 20, Exercises 3 to 5 page 653.
