Whole note (or "breve", hence the British name "semibreve") lasts twice as long as a whole note. A related symbol is the whole rest (or semibreve rest). It usually applies for an "entire measure", but may occasionally mean a rest for the duration of a whole note, in longer time signatures such as or . (An entire measure rest is drawn centered within the measure, whereas a rest lasting for a whole note is aligned to where the note would be.) Whole rests are drawn as filled-in rectangles generally hanging under the second line from the top of a musical staff, though
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
