Frequently Asked Questions
Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. It is used to analyze the profitability of an investment.
NPV is calculated by summing the present values of all future cash flows (both inflows and outflows) using a discount rate, and then subtracting the initial investment. The formula is: NPV = -Initial Investment + Σ (Cash Flow / (1 + r)^t), where r is the discount rate and t is the time period.
A positive NPV indicates that the projected earnings (in present dollars) exceed the anticipated costs (also in present dollars). Generally, an investment with a positive NPV is considered profitable and may be undertaken.
