  cf,
  rate,
  cf.freq = 1,
  comp.freq = 1,
  cf.t = seq(from = if (immediate.start) 0 else 1/cf.freq, by = 1/cf.freq, along.with =
    cf),
  immediate.start = FALSE
)

Arguments

cf	Vector of cash flows
rate	The interest rate in decimal (0.10 or 10e-2 for 10%)
cf.freq	Frequency of annuity payments: 1 for annual, 2 for semi-annual, 12 for monthly.
comp.freq	Frequency of compounding of interest rates: 1 for annual, 2 for semi-annual, 12 for monthly, Inf for continuous compounding.
cf.t	Optional vector of timing (in years) of cash flows. If omitted regular sequence of years is assumed.
immediate.start	Logical variable which is TRUE when the first cash flows is at the beginning of the first period (for example, immediate annuities) and FALSE when the first cash flows is at the end of the first period (for example, deferred annuities)
