NPV is used to analyze the profitability of potential investments or projects. It compares the present value of cash inflows to the present value of cash outflows. If NPV is positive, the investment adds value to the firm and should be accepted. If NPV is negative, the investment subtracts value and should be rejected. To calculate NPV, expected future cash flows are discounted back to the present using the required rate of return, and summed. The example shows calculating NPV for a potential project with $100,000 initial cost and $30,000 annual cash inflows for 6 years, less $5,000 annual cash outflows. The NPV is positive $108,881, so the project should

2. What is NPV?
 NPV of the financial decision is the difference
between the present value of inflows & the
present value of outflows.
 NPV is an indicator of how much value an
investment or project adds to the firm.
 Used for capital budgeting, and it measures the
excess or shortfall of cash flows, in present
value terms, once financing charges are met.

3. What NPV means?
If It means Then
NPV>
0 the investment would add value to the
firm
the project may be
accepted
NPV<
0
the investment would subtract value
from the firm
the project should be
rejected
NPV=
0
the investment would neither gain nor
lose value for the firm
We should be indifferent
in the decision whether
to accept or reject the
project. This project adds
no monetary value.

4. How to calculate NPV?
 FORMULA:
Ct=cash inflow in the period t
C0=cash outflow of today
K=required rate of return
T=time period

5. Example:
 This project will have an immediate cash
outflow of $100,000 (which might include
machinery, and employee training costs).
Other cash outflows for years 1–6 are
expected to be $5,000 per year. Cash inflows
are expected to be $30,000 each for years 1–
6. All cash flows are after-tax, and there are
no cash flows expected after year 6.
The required rate of return is 10%.

TOTAL 1,08,881

7.  The decision should be: Since the NPV is
greater than zero, it would be better to invest
in the project than to do nothing, and the
corporation should invest in this project.
