- Assuming a 10% discount rate, what is this investment's NPV?
- What is the ROI for this investment?
- What would the payback period be for this investment?
- What is the IRR?
- Would it be a good or bad investment? Why?



- The time value of money refers to the concept of comparing present
cash outlays to future expected returns. A dollar today is worth more
than a dollar one year from today because money can be invested. The
rate at which money can be borrowed or invested is called the discount
rate (symbolized with an r).
- The present value (PV) is a measure of the time value and
represents the current value of a future cash flow (or CF).
– Net Present Value (NPV): The calculation of the discounted projected
cash flows of the investment over a number of periods (typically
years) . The NPV formula is as follows:


where n is the number of periods over which the calculation is applied

Note that each cashflow CFi can be positive or negative. Period
0 typically signals initial
investment

- Internal Rate of return (IRR): The discount rate r that makes NPV
equal zero . Can be seen as a threshold discount rate above which
the project/ investment renders some net present value. Can bes
estimated as the discount rate that will make the present value of the
projected cash flows equal to the investment


- The return on investment (ROI) is the ratio of the net cash receipts
of the project divided by the cash outlays of the project
- Payback period: Time required for the investment/project to become break even
