4. Cash Flow (Investment Appraisal)
This calculator uses the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to perform investment appraisal
by totalling cash flow for a fixed period. This calculator can perform the following four types of
investment appraisal.
• Net present value (
NPV)
• Net future value (
NFV)
• Internal rate of return (
IRR)
• Payback period (
PBP)
A cash flow diagram like the one shown below helps to visualize the movement of funds.
With this graph, the initial investment amount is represented by
CF0. The cash flow one year
later is shown by CF1, two years later by CF2, and so on.
