TITLE: Homology of perfect complexes
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: I apologize in advance if this question is basic. 
If $P_{\bullet}$ is a perfect complex over say a ring $R$ such that 

$H_{i}(P_{\bullet})=0 $ if $i\neq n$
$H_{i}(P_{\bullet})=E$  if  $i=n$

is $E$ a finitely generated $R$-module ? 
What can we say about the homology of a generic perfect complex in general?

REPLY [2 votes]: It is even finitely presented
