Editing Cash Flows

In the cash flow list, you can view and modify the current monetary value of a specific cash flow, or cash flows. Press <or >repeatedly to scroll through the list. To modify the

displayed entry, type a new number and press I. For example, to change the current monetary value of the cash flow three, CF(3), in the example in Table 5-2from 0 to 200, with CF(3)= displayed, press 200followed by I.

You can also modify the number of occurrences of a cash flow in the same manner with #CF(n) displayed. Pressing :jwith a cash flow displayed erases the displayed cash flow. Pressing :oinserts a cash flow into the list before the displayed cash flow.

Note that the values for the number of cash flows occurring for a given year, (#CF/Yr) Investment interest rate, (Inv. I%), and safe interest rate (Safe I%) can be entered in both the

NPV and IRR menus*. Key in the desired number or rate followed by Iwith the item displayed. The other items are then calculated internally.

For the cash flow example you entered in Table 5-2,edit the cash flows using the cash flow amounts and number of occurrences shown in Table 5-5 below. For the initial cash flow, CF(0), enter -1,250,000. In the IRR menu, enter 8% for investment interest rate, and 5% as a safe rate. Verify the number of cash flows per year, #CF/Yr, is set to 1. The results for MIRR and FMRR are shown in Table 5-6.This example was calculated in Algebraic mode.
