Cash Flow Diagrams and Signs of Numbers
The sign conventions used for cash flow calculations are the same as
those used in time-value-of-money calculations. A typical series of cash
flows is one of two types:
!
Ungrouped cash flows.
These occur in series of cash flows
without
“groups” of equal, consecutive flows.

from the one before it, the
number of times
each flow occurs is one.
*
Any cash flow series can be treated as an ungrouped one if you enter each
flow individually.
