  • The pv() function computes the present value (see https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/core-finance/interest-tutorial/present-value/v/time-value-of-money). The present value is the value of an asset today.

  • The npv() function returns the net present value. The net present value is defined as the sum of all the present value cash flows.

  • The pmt() function computes the payment against loan principal plus interest.

  • The irr() function calculates the internal rate of return. The internal rate of return is the effective interested rate, which does not take into account inflation.
