Recommend where/how to learn about financial analysis / NPV / Breakeven?

[DreamingOf]

Hi,
I would like to learn about financial analysis / NPV / Breakeven / etc..

I see there have been a few links on this site before e.g. http://www.askaboutmoney.com/showthread.php?t=33405 and http://www.askaboutmoney.com/showthread.php?t=31379

I would like to learn the basics of financial analysis; understand what formula can be used; what is NPV; when to use which analysis or formula; examples of worked out models; excel based models.

Can anyone advice some good routes to learn about these?
Is there a book? A suitable website? What about even a course?
(I'm looking for something ideally free, and if not - inexpensive and short)

I hope you can help and thanks in advance.

CFA charter

3 levels to pass in order to obtain the charter. Tough going, but very well recognised globally and covers everything in the financial markets, including what you listed above

Slightly overkill for the OP I would have thought!
