There is a formula which says that if 1 lt a lt 1, then our geometric series will converge to the following 1aa2 a3 an 1 1a Let's apply this formula to our example where a 1 2. Then we get 1aa2 a3 an 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 2 So, our guess was correct. Note that we cannot use this formula for the
The Master Formula organizes this information into two geometrically different pieces, namely the gradient, containing generic information about how 92f92 changes, and the vector differential 92d92rr92text,92 containing information about the particular change in position being made.
Figure 2-23 details the spreadsheet operations to find the geometric gradient present worth Pg and total present worth PT. To obtain PT - 17,999, three components are summedfirst cost, present worth of estimated salvage in year 6, and Pg . Cell tags detail the relations for the second and third components the first cost occurs at time 0.
Learn how to calculate the present worth of a geometric gradient series that increases or decreases by a constant percentage each period. See the formula, the PA, g, i, n factor, and an example with a spreadsheet solution.

When using the geometric gradient series formulas N is the number of interest periods, including the initial period where the gradient is equal to zero. The discount rate, i, and the gradient, g, must be specified. The MARR which will be covered in chapter 5 is often used as the discount rate.

Note that the initial cash flow A 1 is not considered separately when working with geometric gradients. Figure 2-21 shows increasing and decreasing geometric gradients starting at an amount A 1 in time period 1 with present worth Pg located at time 0. The relation to determine the total present worth Pg for the entire cash flow series may be derived by multiplying each cash flow in Figure 2
