I need help with these problems. The details are included in the attached files. Thank you

Submit a spreadsheet displaying how the answers were calculated. Each problem should be answered on a clearly labeled separate worksheet of a spreadsheet. Answers should be formatted in a manner that makes the answers clear and easy to read. Each of the following Excel functions should be used to calculate at least one of the answers: FV, PV, PMT, RATE, NPER, NPV, AVERAGE, STDEV, and IRR. Calculating the answers elsewhere and typing or pasting them into the spreadsheet is unacceptable. The spreadsheet project submitted should be a single-file readable in Microsoft Excel. I will submit an Excel spreadsheet named & saved as I need it to be as well for the problems to be calculated in. 1.)Cash flows: It is typical for Jane to plan, monitor, and assess her financial position using cash flows over a given period, typically a month.
