Microsoft Excel is the most important tool of Investment Bankers and Financial Analysts. #1 – Future Value (FV) #2 – FVSCHEDULE #3 – Present Value (PV) #4 – Net Present Value (NPV) #5 – XNPV #6 – PMT #7 – PPMT #8 – Internal Rate of Return (IRR) #9 – Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) #10 – XIRR #11 – NPER #12 – RATE #13 – EFFECT #14 – NOMINAL #15 – SLN FV (Rate, Nper, [Pmt], PV, [Type]) Rate = It is the interest rate/period Nper = Number of periods [Pmt] = Payment/period PV = Present Value [Type] = When the payment is made (if nothing is mentioned, it’s assumed that the payment has been made at the end of the period)
A has invested US $100 in 2016. The payment has been made yearly. The interest rate is 10% p.a. What would be the FV in 2019? Solution: In excel, we will put the equation as follows – = FV (10%, 3, 1, – 100) = US $129.
This financial function is important when you need to calculate the future value with the variable interest rate. Have a look at the function below – FVSCHEDULE = (Principal, Schedule) Principal = Principal is the present value of a particular investment Schedule = A series of interest rate put together (in case of excel, we will use different boxes and select the range)
The future value of an investment is US $100 in 2019. The payment has been made yearly. The interest rate is 10% p.a. What would be the PV as of now? Solution: In excel, we will put the equation as follows – = PV (10%, 3, 1, – 100) = US $72.
Net Present Value is the sum total of positive and negative cash flows over the years. Here’s how we will represent it in excel – NPV = (Rate, Value 1, [Value 2], [Value 3]…) Rate = Discount rate for a period Value 1, [Value 2], [Value 3]… = Positive or negative cash flows Here, negative values would be considered as payments and positive values would be treated as inflows.
Here is a series of data from which we need to find NPV – Solution: In Excel, we will do the following –
This financial function is similar as the NPV with a twist. Here the payment and income are not periodic. Rather specific dates are mentioned for each payment and income. Here’s how we will calculate it – XNPV = (Rate, Values, Dates) Rate = Discount rate for a period Values = Positive or negative cash flows (an array of values) Dates = Specific dates (an array of dates)
Here is a series of data from which we need to find NPV – Details In US $ Dates Rate of Discount 5% Initial Investment -1000 1 st^ December, 2011 Return from 1st^ year 300 1 st^ January, 2012
[Type] = When the payment is made (if nothing is mentioned, it’s assumed that the payment has been made at the end of the period)
US $1000 need to be paid in full in 3 years. Interest rate is 10% p.a. and the payment needs to be done yearly. Find out the PMT. Solution: In excel, we will compute it in the following manner – = PMT (10%, 3, 1000) = – 402.
It is another version of PMT. The only difference is this – PPMT calculates payment on principal with a constant interest rate and constant periodic payments. Here’s how to calculate PPMT – PPMT = (Rate, Per, Nper, PV, [FV], [Type]) Rate = It is the interest rate/period Per = The period for which the principal is to be calculated Nper = Number of periods PV = Present Value [FV] = An optional argument which is about the future value of a loan (if nothing is mentioned, FV is considered as “0”)
[Type] = When the payment is made (if nothing is mentioned, it’s assumed that the payment has been made at the end of the period)
US $1000 need to be paid in full in 3 years. Interest rate is 10% p.a. and the payment needs to be done yearly. Find out the PPMT in first year and second year. Solution: In excel, we will compute it in the following manner – 1 st^ year, =PPMT (10%, 1, 3, 1000) = US $-302. 2 nd^ year, =PPMT (10%, 2, 3, 1000) = US $-332.
Modified Internal Rate of Return is one step ahead of Internal Rate of Return. MIRR signifies that the investment is profitable and is used in business. MIRR is calculated by assuming NPV as zero. Here’s how to calculate MIRR in excel – MIRR = (Values, Finance rate, Reinvestment rate) Values = Positive or negative cash flows (an array of values) Finance rate = Interest rate paid for the money used in cash flows Reinvestment rate = Interest rate paid for reinvestment of cash flows
Here is a series of data from which we need to find MIRR – Details In US $ Initial Investment - Return from 1st^ year 300 Return from 2nd^ year 400 Return from 3rd^ year 400 Return from 4th^ year 300 Finance rate = 12%; Reinvestment rate = 10%. Find out IRR. Solution: Let’s look at the calculation of MIRR – = MIRR (B2:B6, 12%, 10%) = 13%
Here we need to find out IRR which has specific dates of cash flow. That’s the only difference between IRR and XIRR. Have a look at how to calculate XIRR in excel financial function – XIRR = (Values, Dates, [Guess]) Values = Positive or negative cash flows (an array of values) Dates = Specific dates (an array of dates) [Guess] = An assumption of what you think IRR should be
Here is a series of data from which we need to find XIRR – Details In US $ Dates Initial Investment -1000 1 st^ December, 2011 Return from 1st^ year 300 1 st^ January, 2012 Return from 2nd^ year 400 1 st^ February, 2013 Return from 3rd^ year 400 1 st^ March, 2014 Return from 4th^ year 300 1 st^ April, 2015
Solution: We need to calculate NPER in the following manner – = NPER (10%, -200, 1000) = 7.27 years
Through RATE function, we can calculate the interest rate needed to pay to pay off the loan in full for a given period of time. Let’s have a look at how to calculate RATE financial function in excel – RATE = (NPER, PMT, PV, [FV], [Type], [Guess]) Nper = Number of periods PMT = Amount paid per period PV = Present Value [FV] = An optional argument which is about the future value of a loan (if nothing is mentioned, FV is considered as “0”) [Type] = When the payment is made (if nothing is mentioned, it’s assumed that the payment has been made at the end of the period) [Guess] = An assumption of what you think RATE should be
US $200 is paid per year for a loan of US $1000 for 6 years and the payment needs to be done yearly. Find out the RATE. Solution:
Through EFFECT function, we can understand the effective annual interest rate. When we have the nominal interest rate and the number of compounding per year, it becomes easy to find out the effective rate. Let’s have a look at how to calculate EFFECT financial function in excel – EFFECT = (Nominal_Rate, NPERY) Nominal_Rate = Nominal Interest Rate NPERY = Number of compounding per year
A payment needs to be paid with a nominal interest rate of 12% when the number of compounding per year is 12. Solution: = EFFECT (12%, 12) = 12.68%
SLN = (Cost, Salvage, Life) Cost = Cost of asset when bought (initial amount) Salvage = Value of asset after depreciation Life = Number of periods over which the asset is being depreciated
The initial cost of machinery is US $5000. It has been depreciated in Straight Line Method. The machinery was used for 10 years and now the salvage value of machinery is US $300. Find depreciation charged per year. Solution: = SLN (5000, 300, 10) = US $470 per year
