I do hope that I am not interfering unnecessarily in a student's project. If I am, I apologise and I can only take comfort in the fact that all my changes can be reversed if necessary. However, I have run into the need for a link to an article on this subject in an article that I am trying to draft on Financial economics and for that purpose, I have introduced a slight extension to the maths to cover net present expected value.

I have transferred all of the maths onto the "Tutorials" subpage - in accordance with the policy adopted for economics articles that has been adopted on the grounds that many educated layman are fazed by algebra, including those who can readily understand the same proposition phrased as verbal logic. I am planning to introduce some rephrasing of the text, mainly for the same reason.
