Thus, all the values in addition and investment in account are considered as outflow of cash flow and all the values of withdrawal and final value are considered as inflow of cash.

PV of inflow = PV of outflow

  23000(1+r)15 + 198000(1+r)17  = 148000+2500+4000(1+r)3+1500(1+r)7+13460(1+r)12+3000(1+r)16
