Cash Flow Calculator

The full cash-flow worksheet on one page: CF0 with C01…Cn and frequencies, both NPV and IRR, and the exact BA II Plus keystrokes for each.

Results

NPV =537.88
IRR =8.92%

Worked example (T14): CF0=−25000, 7200 × 3, then 9500 at 8% → NPV = 537.88, IRR = 8.92%.

NPV keystrokes

  1. [CF][2ND] [CLR WORK]
  2. 25000[+/-][ENTER]
  3. [↓]7200[ENTER]
  4. [↓]3[ENTER]
  5. [↓]9500[ENTER]
  6. [NPV]8[ENTER][CPT]

Key map (same as the simulator): 2ND P/Y = P/Y worksheet · 2ND BGN = mode · 2ND CLR WORK = clear the open worksheet · 2ND CLR TVM = clear TVM.

IRR keystrokes

  1. [CF][2ND] [CLR WORK]
  2. 25000[+/-][ENTER]
  3. [↓]7200[ENTER]
  4. [↓]3[ENTER]
  5. [↓]9500[ENTER]
  6. [IRR][CPT]

Worked example — frequencies (T14)

CF0 = −25000, then 7,200 occurring three times (F = 3), then 9,500, at I = 8%: NPV = 537.88, IRR = 8.92%. The 7200s sit at t = 1, 2, 3 and the 9500 at t = 4.

Frequently asked questions

How many cash flows can I enter?

As many rows as you need here; the physical BA II Plus holds up to 24 flows after CF0 (each with its own frequency).

Why does the first row have no frequency?

CF0 happens at time zero — it occurs once by definition, so there is no F00 on the calculator either.

Do NPV and IRR use the same flows?

Yes — one worksheet feeds both, exactly like pressing NPV and IRR from the same CF data on the calculator.
