    Figures at the bottom of the spreadsheet have been rounded to 0.09, 0.02, 0.12.

    Then they have to be discounted at 12%. For 1, 2 and 3 years respectively to take into account the time value of money. You could use discount tables or calculate discount factors from first principles:

    1/(1 + 0.12), 1/(1 + 0.12)**2, 1/(1 + 0.12)**3.

    Where ** means raise to the power.
