Abstract
FINPLAN is a generalised cash flow computer program which generates cash flows from base data files of capital costs, project expenses, sales and production. From these cash flows the program calculates project internal rate return before and after tax, equity rate of return and net present value for a given discount rate. The program was written by Mr S.C. Wong, AM&C Division, following accounting procedures set down by the NDF Assessment and Planning Unit. The accounting and calculational methods used are outlined in the section FINPLAN Calculations. Execution of this program is carried out interactively, allowing the user to change the value of several variables during program execution. An outline of the interactive operation of the program is given in the section Interactive Procedures. The program produces three reports - a financial summary, a detailed annual capital account and a detailed annual profit and loss account. An additional program, FDATA has been written in order that data entry to the data set is facilitated. Operation of this program is outlined in a separate section, FDATA Input.
