Quarterly DCF NPV Formula

Full Year Rate 10.0%


Effective Periodic Rate 2.4% see below note

Quarterly Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
Undiscounted Cash Flows $ 10.0 $ 10.0 $ 10.0 $ 10.0
PV Factor (Quarterly) 0.9765 0.9535 0.9310 0.9091
Discounted Cash Flows $ 9.765 $ 9.535 $ 9.310 $ 9.091
Sum of DCF $ 37.7002
NPV Formula $ 37.7002 requires effective periodic rate

Annual $ 40.0
Discounting $ 36.3636
NPV Formula $ 36.3636

Don't forget, to solve for effective periodic rate (quarterly in this case):
(1+r)4 - 1 =10% solve for r => r = (1+10%)4 -1
