Double whole note either of two ways: by a hollow oval note head, like a whole note, with one or two vertical lines on either side, as on the left of the image, or as the rectangular shape also found in older notation, shown in the middle of the image (; ). Because it lasts longer than a bar in most modern time signatures in common use, the breve is rarely encountered except in English music, where the half-note is often used as the beat unit . A related symbol is the double whole rest (double rest or breve rest), which usually denotes
Time value of money the contributions of "FV", the value of cash flow at time "t": Note that this series can be summed for a given value of "n", or when "n" is ∞. This is a very general formula, which leads to several important special cases given below. In this case the cash flow values remain the same throughout the "n" periods. The present value of an annuity (PVA) formula has four variables, each of which can be solved for by numerical methods: To get the PV of an annuity due, multiply the above equation by (1 + "i"). In this case each
