I responded in email. But if you comment here, it might help others as well.

What are the two different methods that you used? What are the two results
that you got?

If we knew that, I suspect we can offer educated "guesses" that might
explain the difference.

How many data points are we talking about?

If they are a few dozen or less, perhaps you could simply post the data in a
response. Alternatively, perhaps you can demonstrate __a__ discrepancy
(albeit not the same one) with a lot less data.

Most of the time, that is sufficient for us to explain discrepancies.

Any one willing to take a crack at it and maybe provide some kind of
explanation is welcome to contact me at , and I will send over
the excel sheet with the problem. Please note that a basic understanding of
the time value of money and financing is required.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Ben.
