SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the percentage rate (CR) based on a gross amount (a = 1739598), an interest rate (R = 5%), and a day difference (d = 1). The net present value (NPV) is computed as 176100/(1+0.05)^(1/360), resulting in an NPV of approximately 176076.14. The present amount (PA) is derived from the equation PA = a - NPV, yielding a rounded value of 1563522. The participants explore methods to determine the future cash flow (f) that would result in a CR of exactly 89.00%, emphasizing the importance of avoiding rounding in calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of financial concepts such as net present value (NPV)
  • Proficiency in percentage calculations and interest rates
  • Familiarity with the formula for calculating present value
  • Basic knowledge of cash flow analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the calculation of net present value (NPV) in financial modeling
  • Learn about cash flow forecasting techniques
  • Research the implications of rounding in financial calculations
  • Explore the differences between using 360-day and 365-day year conventions in finance
USEFUL FOR

Finance professionals, financial analysts, and anyone involved in cash flow management or investment analysis will benefit from this discussion.

Hi Friends,

I have x gross amount a = 1739598, Rate of interest R = 5%, and day difference d = 1. Future cash flow f = 176100

now npv = f/(1+r)^(d/360) i.e. 176100/(1+0.05)^(1/360) = 176076.135095

PA = a - npv i.e. 1739598 - 176076.135095 = 1563521.8649 round off value 1563522

rate CR = (PA/A)*100 i.e. (1563521.8649/1739598)*100 = 89.8783512053% round off 89.88%

Now i want to find the Future Cash flow f so that my CR rate will be exactly 89.00%

Note: 0.05 * 100 = 5 = 500% not 5%
Note: 0.05 = 5%

Have you considered working backwards?

However, your multiple uses of "round off value" suggest that it may not be possible. It is no longer a continuous process when you do that.

0.8900000 = What / 1739598? What = 1548242.22 -- No rounding allowed.
etc. Keep going backwards until you find your solution. Let's see your work.

Of course, "exactly" is a little dubious. You are using 360 days. Those increments are quite a bit larger than pieces of 365 days, or even 366 days.
