Reviewing Cash Flow Entries

zTo display a single cash flow amount, press :, then key in the number of the register containing the cash flow amount to be displayed. Alternatively,

store the number of that cash flow amount (that is, the value of j for the CFj desired) in the n register, then press :gK.

zTo review all the cash flow amounts, press :gK repeatedly. This displays the cash flow amounts in reverse order — that is, beginning with the final cash flow and proceeding to CF0.

zTo display the number of times a cash flow amount occurs consecutively —

that is, to display the Nj for a CFj store the number of that cash flow amount (that is, the value of j) in the n register, then press :ga.

zTo review all the cash flow amounts together with the number of times each

cash flow amount occurs consecutively (that is, to review each CFj and Nj pair), press :ga:gK repeatedly. This displays Nj followed by CFj beginning with the final cash flow amount and proceeding to N0 and CF0.

Note: Neither fL nor fl changes the number in the n register. However, each time :gK is pressed, the number in the n register is decreased by 1. If this is done, or if you manually change the number in the

n register in order to display a single Nj and/or CFj, be sure to reset the number in the n register to the total number of cash flow amounts originally

entered (not including the amount of the initial investment CF0). If this is not done, NPV and IRR calculations will give incorrect results; also, a review of

cash flow entries would begin with Nn and CFn, where n is the number currently in the n register.

For example, to display the fifth cash flow amount and the number of times that amount occurs consecutively:
