The third and final column is the metric that we are working towards and the formula uses the “IF(AND)” function in Excel that performs the following two logical tests. The current year’s cumulative cash balance is less than zero
To calculate the payback period using Excel, you can use the PV function. For our example, the formula would look like this: PV(10%,5,-100,-20) This would give you a payback period of 5 years. You can also use the payback period formula to calculate the required rate of return. Th...
Cumulative Cash Flow: In the next column, we’ll calculate the cumulative cash flow to date by adding the discounted cash flow for the given period to the prior year’s cumulative cash flow balance. Payback Period: The third column uses the “IF(AND)” Excel function to determine the payb...
