Net Present Value
• Differences between the present values of cash inflows and cash outflows.
• Most usable metric for assessment of investment’s profitability.
• Positive NPV expresses economic feasibility of the project examined.
• Project with the highest NPV is considered as most preferable for investment.
– 𝐶𝑂: Investment cost
– 𝑃𝑉𝑡: Present value of cash flows in year t

Net Present Value
Advantages
+ Direct measure of the profit contribution to the stakeholders (equity and debt providers).
+ Easy to calculate.
+ Inflation and returns are taken into account.
Weaknesses
- Projects with different project lifetimes may not be directly compared with each other.
- Sensitive to reliability of future cash flows.
- It is assumed that the future cash flows are reinvested with the discount rate of the initial investment.
- Project size in not taken into account.

Funded by
Internal Rate of Return
• It is the interest rate that makes NPV of a project equal to zero.
• Every examined investment/project should provide higher IRR than the enterprise’s cost of capital.
• The project with the highest IRR is, then, promoted for implementation.
Basic Assumptions
• The investment is held till maturity.
• All intermediate cash flows are reinvested at the IRR.
• Identical time intervals between two cash flows are necessary.

Internal Rate of Return
Advantages
+ Easy to understand.
+ Expresses returns and not absolute profit values (as NPV) – most preferable from investors.
+ May be estimated regardless of the discount rate level.
Weaknesses
- Difficulty of IRR calculation, especially, in cases of non-stable cash flows.
- It is assumed that the future cash flows are reinvested with the discount rate of the initial investment.
- When two examined projects are mutually exclusive, then the investment with the highest IRR is not exclusively the most profitable.

NPV vs IRR
Timing of cash flows and project sizes may result in conflicting outcomes in
the NPV and IRR methods.

Payback Period
• Represents the time period (in years) needed in order to “pay back” project’s initial investment.
• The minimum acceptance and ranking criteria are set by decision makers/investors.

Payback Period
Advantages
+ Easy to understand and use
+ Biased towards liquidity
+ Is based on earlier cash flows
Weaknesses
- Ignores the time value of money
- Ignores differences in risk of alternative investments
- Uses an arbitrary cutoff point to determine which projects to reject
- Ignores cash flows after the payback period
Advancement - Discounted Payback Period
Takes into consideration the time value of money
Investment decision is based on its comparison with an acceptable time horizon

• It is extracted by dividing the future cash flows with the initial investment cost.
• Expresses the value created for each monetary unit expensed.
• Accepted investments are those with PI>1.

+ Used by companies when available funding is limited
Weaknesses
- Same as IRR, it may lead to wrong decisions when comparing two mutually exclusive projects.
- It is assumed that the future cash flows are reinvested with the discount rate of the initial investment.
