Cash Flow Worksheet

49

What even payment amount at the beginning of each month would
result in the same present value?

Because the cash flows are uneven, use the Cash Flow worksheet to
determine the net present value of the lease.

Computing NPV

The cash flows for the first four months are stated as a group of four $0
cash flows. Because the lease specifies beginning-of-period payments,
you must treat the first cash flow in this group as the initial investment
(

CFo

) and enter the remaining three cash flows on the cash flow screens

(

C01

and

F01

).

Note: The BGN/END setting in the TVM worksheet does not affect the
Cash Flow worksheet.
