Example: An investor has an opportunity to purchase a piece of property for $79,000; and he would like a 131/2% return. He expects to be able to sell it after 10 years for $100,000 and anticipates the yearly cash flows shown in the table below:

Since two cash flow amounts ($10,000 and $9,000) are repeated consecutively, we can minimize the number of storage registers required by using the method just described.
