Assume that the interest rate is 5% and that I drive the car 30,000 miles per year. What is present value of the carbon expense for five years? You will need to use the PV function in Excel or a financial calculator. In Excel the present value of a stream of monetary cash flows is given by -PV(rate, number of payments, payment amount) where rate is the interest rate. We enter the payment in Excel as a positive number. You can also compute the carbon cost per year and then discount those five values back to the present.arrow_forward
