ModeldrillCash roll-forward
A financial modeling exercise from Modeldrill. Solve it with a live spreadsheet grid in your browser, with Fill right and Fill down, and it is checked the moment you submit.
The task
Roll cash forward. Outflows are already negative. Closing cash (row 10) is opening cash plus all the flows in rows 6 to 9. Each later year opens with the prior closing cash.
What this exercise teaches
Keeping outflows negative means every flow row is simply added. Mixing positive outflows with subtraction is a frequent source of sign errors in cash schedules.
A hint if you get stuck
Because outflows carry their minus sign, a SUM of the flows is all you need. Do not subtract them a second time.
