Calculating Cash Flows
Calculating a Cash Flow
Use the cash flow functions (menu items 7 and 8) to analyze the value of
money over equal time periods. You can enter unequal cash flows,
which can be cash inflows or outflows. The syntax descriptions for npv(
and irr( use these arguments.
• interest rate is the rate by which to discount the cash flows (the cost of
money) over one period.
• CF0 is the initial cash flow at time 0; it must be a real number.
• CFList is a list of cash flow amounts after the initial cash flow CF0.
• CFFreq is a list in which each element specifies the frequency of
occurrence for a grouped (consecutive) cash flow amount, which is
the corresponding element of CFList. The default is 1; if you enter
values, they must be positive integers < 10,000.
For example, express this uneven cash flow in lists.
2000 4000
2000 2000
- 3000
4000
