Viewing
and/or
Correcting
Cash
Flow
for
inputs
for
NPV
and
IRR
After
inputting
the
Cash
Flows
for
an
NPV
or
IRR
calculation,
you
can
see
the
values
by
going
back
to
the
[CF]
key
and
use
the
arrows.
For
example,
FØ_
is
used
if
the
cash
flow
is
repeated
several
years
in
a
row.
You
can
correct
an
CF
input
when
you
find
an
error
by
using
the
enter
key.
For
example,
assume
you
entered
‐
10
for
CF
0
when
it
should
have
been
‐
1000.

Cash
Flows
•
Note:
on
the
exam
they
may
try
a
trick:
•
Assume
the
cash
flows
are
CF
0
=
‐
1000,
CF
1
=
100,
CF
2
=
200,
CF
3
=
0,
CF
4
=
400,
CF
5
=
500.
•
You
MUST
enter
CF
3
as
0
or
the
remaining
cash
flows
will
be
for
the
wrong
periods
and
you
will
get
the
wrong
answer!
