From the supplier: A finance professor at the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana, Jim Gentry, has created a number of software applications for courses he teaches to large classes of commerce and business administration undergraduate students. Gentry set out recently to program a simulation demonstrating the cash flow cycle. He already had developed a similar simulation for a course on financial management. The prototype was developed on an IBM PC system. This worked well as a presentation tool but did not facilitate the animation of cash flow through a corporation. A grant from the university's Office for Information Management was followed by a conference with an instructional designer who suggested the simulation be written using Computer Teaching Corp's TenCORE Authoring Language because of its animation functionality. The Cash Flow Cycle program include a main menu offering nine topics. TenCORE has been used to build two other programs: a loan risk evaluation program and one to describe the original, revised and computed value of money.
