For Inflation Rate
Follow the six-step procedures as above for inflation rate Note that inflation rate follows normal distribution with mean of 3%, plus or minus %. bel, for example, Cash Inflow 2012. Then enter the pessimistic, most likely and optimistic estimates from Table 7-4 in the appropriate cells 4 in the appropriate cells below the distribution
