Calculating IRR, NPV, and NFV for Monthly Cash Flows
A real estate investor wishes to purchase/finance a piece of property
for $225,000. She’d like a return of 10% and expects to sell it after
five years for $275,000. She expects the monthly cash flows below.
Find the IRR, NPV and NFV, and determine whether this investment
is desirable.
Note: since payments are expected to be received monthly, you will need to set your
Payments per Year to 12.
Monthly Cash Flows
Year 1 $1,000
Year 2 $1,100
Year 3* $1,200
Year 4* $1,200
Year 5 $275,000

*Because the amount of monthly rent for Years 3 and 4 remains the same, this Cash
Flow amount is entered once (C-3), and the frequency for this Cash Flow is set to 24,
indicating that this amount is received for two years, or 24 total payments.
Analysis: This investment would bring an internal rate of return
of 10.26%. The NPV is over $2,000, resulting in a positive return
on investment.
