1:14 7 .11 5GE D Done 5 of 5 2. Calculate net cash flow, discount value, and NPV (yellow highlighted cells) using the formulas given (Figure 1). 3. Calculate totals (inflow, outflow, net flow, and NPV) using the given formula for SUM (yellow highlighted cells in Row 8).

Determine your assumption cells. In this case we are using cash inflow and inflation rate. 5. Define the assumptions using Crystal Ball. The assumption cells are input cells that contain values we are unsure of; the independent variable of the problem we are trying to solve. The cell must contain simple numeric values, no formulas or text. a. To define the assumption cells for the cash inflow we use the Triangular distribution. This distribution is used when we know very little about the input values, but we can roughly estimate the minimum, maximum, and most likely values - thus creating a triangle. Crystal Ball will also calculate the minimum and maximum values automatically based on your most likely estimate which is the value you are using in the spreadsheet.

Define assumption cells for the inflation rate assuming a normal distribution. We use the normal distribution model. The normal distribution assumes that the inflation rate will most likely remain at 2% on average, but could fluctuate either up or down at the same rate and that it will most likely be closer to 2% than farther out in either direction (0% or 4%. We'll use an inflation rate of 2% +/- .5%. With the normal distribution we can approximate that there will be a 68% chance that the inflation rate will lie within .5% either side of the mean rate of 2%.
