I just got an e mail and Connect is still not loaded into BlackBoard. This is why I assigned a spreadsheet and posted it with the questions on BB. I do not know when Connect will be loaded but this is NOT a problem for our first couple of weeks as I have constructed the class.
We need to cover more material so that you can study it over the long weekend ahead. Would the intermediate classes please read the following for tomorrow, well wait a minute, I just looked at chapter 6 in spiceland, reading his description of time value is like trying to scuba dive in the muddy MIssissippi River, so short version read the number are for the sixth edition same examples in the fifth edition different pages
Chapter 6 Time Value of Money
concept review exercises on page 305, as page 391, and page 323, these all reference the tables, do not be concerned with the elaborate formulas in the chapter and relax we will not be memorizing formulas, geez what an awful chapter, I thought Chapter 21 on cash flow was the worst but this one trumps it!

Cost Class, please continue reading Chapter one and completing the homework assigned the old fashioned way, write it down on a piece of paper, in the mean time, re discover the ultimate wPad (not a typo, my invention for writing pad) I had in grade school
the spiral notebook, a real time portable computing device with a life time battery (which is to say none) and fail safe writing instrument, a pencil
handily available in multiple designer colors before DELL discovered them at any Walgreens or HEB….
