Calculating the net present value (NPV) of a series of equal or uneven cash flows using
the cash flow (CFj) register.
Example: Jane thinks if she invests $80,000 by buying property today, she can get $15,000 in rent
from it for each of the next twenty years (the rent will be paid quarterly). If she wants a rate of return
of 12% (with quarterly discounting) o n her investment, what is the net present value of this project?
