Cash-Flow Calculations
i% = periodic interest rate.
j = the group number of the cash flow.
CF
= amount of the cash flow for group j.
j
n
= number of times the cash flow occurs for group j.
j
k = the group number of the last group of cash flows.
∑
Nj =
= total number of cash flows prior to group j.

When NPV = 0, the solution for i% is the periodic internal rate of return.
NFV = NPV x SPFV(i % : N) where N =
