Note:
If you change the number in the n register in order to change an
N
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.
Example 1:
With the cash flows now stored in the calculator, change CF
2
from
$11,000 to $9,000, then calculate the new
NPV
for a 13.5% return.

Since this

is negative, the investment would decrease the financial value of
the investor’s assets.

This step is necessary in this example because we have calculated
IRR
since the first time we
calculated
NPV
. The
IRR
calculation replaced the 13.5 we keyed into i before calculating
NPV
with the result for
IRR
– 13.72.
