Cash Flow Calculations
Introduction
The cash flow
(CFLO)
menu is used to analyze cash flows (money
received or money paid out) of uneven amounts that occur at regular
intervals.* Once you've entered the cash flows, you can calculate:
• The total of the cash flows.
• The internal rate of return (IRR%).
• The net present value (NPV), net uniform series (NUS), and net
future value (NFV) for a specified periodic interest rate (1%).

* You can use the cash flow menu for cash flows of equal amounts at regular intervals. How-
ever, these situations are handled more easily in the TVM menu.
