Financial Toolbox

Analyzing and Computing Cash Flows

The Financial Toolbox cash-flow functions compute interest rates, rates of return, present or future values, depreciation streams, and annuities.

Some examples in this section use this income stream: an initial investment of $20,000 followed by three annual return payments, a second investment of $5,000, then four more returns. Investments are negative cash flows, return payments are positive cash flows.

• Stream = [-20000,  2000,  2500,  3500, -5000,  6500,...
              9500,  9500,  9500];
