Rosen's Financial Templates
Larry Rosen is author of eight financial books including "The Dow Jones-Irwin Guide to Interest" and "The McGraw-Hill Handbook of Interest, Yields and Returns." He has created 3 ClarisWorks templates:
1) Investment Analysis: Stocks, Bonds, and Real Estate determines the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for your stock, bond, and real estate investments. This template produces a yearly pretax and after-tax cash flow analysis, the pre- and post-tax IRR for existing or proposed investments, and the revised IRR, including the impact of investing your after-tax cash flows. "Computerized Investing" magazine rated this template a "best buy".
2) Bond Portfolio Manager: computes (1) the market value of your bonds at the lessor of call or maturity value, (2) duration, convexity, and reward-risk indicators for changes in yield, (3) interest received from each bond, and (4) unrealized gain or loss for each bond using taxable basis adjusted for "constant yield" amortization. Reports include: interest, market values, unrealized gain, quality, cash flows, duration, convexity, and portfolio summary.
3) Is It Time to Refinance?: determines whether or not to refinance a mortgage based on: (1) the difference between the old and new interest rates, (2) the costs of obtaining a new loan, (3) the life of the old and new loan, (4) the length of time you plan to keep the property, (5) tax bracket, and other factors.
Each template costs $89 and includes complete electronic documentation. Larry Rosen Company, 7008 Springdale Road, Louisville, Kentucky 40241
