Factors affecting your result
Use consistent units for all comparable inputs. The displayed result is rounded; arithmetic is performed with the full available numeric precision. Check your source measurements before relying on the result.
Changing start date changes the scenario being evaluated. Adjust one input at a time when comparing results, keep a copy of the assumptions, and compare values using the same unit and period. A precise arithmetic result does not make an uncertain assumption precise.
