NPV is short for Net Present Value and it makes difference between the present value and cost of a project. In addition‚ NPV takes into account all cash flows through out the whole life of the projects‚ as well as the time value of money. And it compares like with like as all inflows and outflows are discounted to today¡¯s date. Also‚ the cost of capital is very unlikely to be changed over a period of time. To judge if the NPV is good‚ we should see the value of it‚ and the rule is the high the better

It is preferred as one of the most reliable measures employed in capital budgeting since it accounts for the time value of money as it uses the discounted cash inflows. The net cash

Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return by Harold Bierman‚ Jr Executive Summary • • • Net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) are two very practical discounted cash flow (DCF) calculations used for making capital budgeting decisions. NPV and IRR lead to the same decisions with investments that are independent. With mutually exclusive investments‚ the NPV method is easier to use and more reliable. Introduction To this point neither of the two discounted cash flow procedures

When cash inflows are even: NPV = R × 1 − (1 + i)-n − Initial Investment i In the above formula‚ R is the net cash inflow expected to be received each period; i is the required rate of return per period; n are the number of periods during which the project is expected to operate and generate cash inflows. When cash inflows are uneven: NPV = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... − Initial Investment (1 + i)1 (1 + i)2 (1 + i)3 Where‚ i is the target rate of return per period;

ASSIGNMENT TOPIC: “THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USINFG NPV (NET PRESENT VALUE) AND IRR (INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN)” NPV (NET PRESENT VALUE) The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows. NPV is used in capital budgeting to analyze the profitability of an investment or project. NPV analysis is sensitive to the reliability of future cash inflows that an investment or project will yield. NPV compares the value of a dollar today to the value of that
