Reviewing Cash Flow Entries z z z z

To display a single cash flow amount, press :, then key in the number of the register containing the cash flow amount to be displayed. Alternatively, store the number of that cash flow amount (that is, the value of j for the CF j desired) in the n register, then press :gK.

To review all the cash flow amounts, press :g K repeatedly. This displays the cash flow amounts in reverse order — that is, beginning with the final cash flow and proceeding to CF

0

.

To display the number of times a cash flow amount occurs consecutively — that is, to display the N j

for a CF j

— store the number of that cash flow amount (that is, the value of j) in the n register, then press :ga.

To review all the cash flow amounts together with the number of times each cash flow amount occurs consecutively (that is, to review each CF j pair), press :ga:gK repeatedly. This displays N j

Note: Neither fL nor fl changes the number in the n register.

However, each time :gK is pressed, the number in the n register is decreased by 1. If this is done, or if you manually change the number in the n register in order to display a single N j

and/or CF j

, be sure to reset the number in the n register to the total number of cash flow amounts originally entered (not including the amount of the initial investment CF

0

). If this is not done, NPV and IRR calculations will give incorrect results; also, a review of cash flow entries would begin with N n

and CF n

, where n is the number currently in the n register.

For example, to display the fifth cash flow amount and the number of times that amount occurs consecutively:
