flows‚ and CF0 is negative but each of the following CFs is positive‚ you can solve for I‚ but only if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows exceeds the cost. c. To solve for I‚ one must identify the value of I that causes the PV of the positive CFs to equal the absolute value of the PV of the negative CFs. This is‚ essentially‚ a trialand-error procedure that is easy with a computer or financial calculator but quite difficult otherwise. d. If you solve for I and get a negative number‚ then you
