FAR Section of the CPA Exam - All About Bonds!

This class is taught by a Certified Public Accountant who wrote questions for the United States CPA Exam and also graded the CPA exam for many years. You will learn everything you need to know about bonds for the FAR section of the CPA exam, demystifying this often-misunderstood subject!

In these videos, you will clearly view an Excel spreadsheet as we work through example problems to drive home the concept.

We will begin with the concept of valuation before diving into formulas and calculations. You will learn how to valuate without a financial calculator and we will also finish up with some backdoor shortcuts for calculation and ways to confirm you arrived at the correct answer!

Future value, present value and annuities will be addressed and you will completely understand this concept in less than 45 minutes!  The class is broken down into concepts that are approximately 10 minutes long.
Best of all, you will attain the background understanding necessary to remember these concepts for your exam. Although this class is geared towards those studying for the FAR section of the CPA exam, it is useful for anyone learning the concepts of bonds in college, MBA programs, or for anyone interested in bond and annuity investments.
