Gradient Factors (P/G and A/G) A geometric gradient

series is a cash flow series that either increases or
decreases by a constant percentage each period. The
uniform change is called the rate of change. g = constant
rate of change, in decimal form, by which cash flow
values increase or decrease from one period to the next.
The gradient g can be + or -. A1 = initial cash flow in year
1 of the geometric series. Pg = present worth of the
entire geometric gradient series, including the initial
amount A1 Note that the initial cash flow A1 is not
considered separately when working with geometric
gradients.
