Will the value of 1.000 that is shown in cell B15 stay constant or change as the Excel template is used to calculate the internal rate of return? Why? It will because 2c. Will the values of 1.000 that are shown in cells C15 through G15 stay constant or change as the Excel template is used to calculate the internal rate of return? Why? They will because the cash flows occur in future periods so they need to be discounted the cash flows occur "now" so they do not need to be discounted. 2d. Will the discount factors in cells C15 through G15 increase or decrease as the discount rate in cell B3 increases? Why? They will because a higher discount rate means that you would have to set aside less money today to earn a specific amount in the future. a higher discount rate means that you would have to set aside more money today to earn a specific amount in the future.
