Uneven cash flows
The PV of uneven cash flows is the sum of the PVs of individual cash flows.
For example, for the following uneven cash flow:
Year | Cash flow | PV of Cash flow | PV |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 100 | 100/(1.1) | =90.91 |
2 | 300 | 300/[(1.1)^2] | =247.93 |
3 | 300 | 300/[(1.1)^3] | =225.39 |
4 | -50 | -50/[(1.1)^4] | =-34.15 |
The final PV of the uneven cash flow stream is the sum, $530.08.
