Cash flow: Used to calculate the 'Net Present Value' of a series of
sequential cash flows, or the 'Internal Rate of Return' of those amounts.
- Create a list of payments using the 'Add/Edit/Delete' buttons.
- By default, each entry is a one-time amount, but you can change that
to a multiple amount by changing the quantity to something other than 1.
- You can also enter the amounts by using the "Cf" button on the main
screen. The "Cn" button will edit the quantity (multiples) of the last
entered amount.
- Upon first entering this screen, or after editing the % field or
cash flow list, the NPV and IRR fields will beblank and a "Recalc" button
will be displayed abouve the "NPV" label.
- Tap the "Recalc" button to recalculate the NPV and IRR fields. Note
that the IRR calculation is iterative, and this value might take a little
while to be resolved. You can interrupt the calculation if it is taking
too long, and you can resume it again after interruption.
In the example above, it was requested to calculate the NPV and IRR of the series
of cash flow amounts. At 8.12%, the NPV is $5072. The IRR (the interest rate
required to make the NPV equal to $0) is 74%.
