Explanation:

Financial accounting is an accounting technique used for analyzing, summarizing and reporting of financial transactions like sales costs, purchase costs, payables and receivables of an organization using standard financial guidelines such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Some of the financial terminologies used in financial accounting are;

1. Amortization Schedule: A schedule or table that reports the amount of principal and the amount of interest that make up each payment made to repay a loan by the end of its regular term.

2. Amortized loan: A loan in which the payments include interest as well as loan principal.

3. Annual Percentage rate: A value that represents the interest paid by borrowers or earned by lenders, expressed as a percentage of the amount borrowed or invested over a 12-month period.

4. Discounting: A process that involves calculating the current value of a future cash flow or series of cash flows based on a certain interest rate.

5. Future Value: The name given to the amount to which a cash flow, or a series of cash flows, will grow over a given period of time when compounded at a given rate of interest.

6. Opportunity cost of funds: A 6% return that you could have earned if you had made a particular investment.

7. Time value of money: A concept that maintains that the owner of a cash flow will value it differently, depending on when it occurs.

8. Annuity due: A series of equal cash flows that occur at the beginning of each of the equally spaced intervals (such as daily, monthly, quarterly, and so on).

9. Perpetuity: A cash flow stream that is generated by a share of preferred stock that is expected to pay dividends every quarter indefinitely.

10. Ordinary annuity: A series of equal cash flows that occur at the end of each of the equally spaced intervals (such as daily, monthly, quarterly, and so on).

11. Time value of money calculations can be solved using a mathematical equation, a financial calculator, or a spreadsheet. The equation which can be used to solve for the present value of a perpetuity is given below;

Present value of a perpetuity (PV) = PMT/r
