## Description

You can create custom investments adding: Starting Expenditures, regular income 
in percentage (coupon), amortization at the end (useful for Bonds), payments frequency
and price of the instruments in the secondary market .

Investment Decision Helper will calculate and compare the return rates, and help
you make the right choice.

Note: Version 1.0.2 will still be available for those who are unwilling to add the
additional Payments Frequency option. In any case, the Annual Payments scheme will
show the same behaviour for the instruments.

### Usage

 1. Enter the cost of the investment.
 2. Enter the coupon or periodic income rate (interest rate).
 3. Enter the number of times the interest will be received.
 4. (Optional) Enter de last amortization in case you need it (You can assume 100% 
    for Bonds, otherwise omit it).
 5. (Optional) Enter de Price of the instrument in percentage in case it is negotiated
    in secondary markets.
 6. (Optional) Select the income frequency. Base returns for instruments will be considered“
    Annual” unless you select a different option.
 7. (Optional) For pre-calculated return, place the corresponding Return rate. It will
    override every information added in previous cells (except “Frecuency”). This option
    won’t be placed in the chart since there’re no “Starting Expenditure” or “Coupon”
    to obtain the corresponding “NPV”.
 8. Click on “submit” button and look at the new box showing the return rates of both
    instruments. The preferred option will be featured in green, and a chart will show
    you the NPV behavior as IRR changes.
