How do you figure NPV on excel when you are doing a five year forecast by quarter.

May 20th 2003 #3 The simplest way is to divide your annual interest rate by 4 (4 quarters)=npv(x/4,-capital, q1_income,q2_income,q3_income...)A more precise interest rate calculation if compounding quarterly is (1+x)^(1/4)-1ie if x=10% would be (1+.1)^(1/4)-1=.024114 instead of x/4=.025
