ABSTRACT
A variety of quantitative tools exist within the domain of economic and financial analysis. Examples include capital budgeting, scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, bond valuation, stock valuation, leasing versus purchasing, insurance valuation, and some types of forecasting. Certainly, other investment resources may be examined quantitatively. This listing of economic and financial application domains differs with respect to the characteristics of the investment itself. For example, stock investments show equity ownership and voting privileges, whereas financial forecasting may show only the expectations of future sales values during some future period.
