Section 4: Additional Financial Functions

Note: If you change the number in the n register in order to change an Nj, 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.

Example 1: With the cash flows now stored in the calculator, change CF2 from $11,000 to $9,000, then calculate the new NPV for a 13.5% return.

Since this NPV is negative, the investment would decrease the financial value of the investor’s assets.

Example 2: Change N5 from 2 to 4, then calculate the new NPV.

*This step is necessary in this example because we have calculated IRR since the first time we calculated NPV. The IRR calculation replaced the 13.5 we keyed into i before calculating NPV with the result for IRR – 13.72.
