Net Present Value (NPV)

August 27, 2008 @ Singapore Project Manager Forum from Sundar

NPV compares the value of the future cash flows of the project to today’s dollars using time value of money techniques.

It evaluates the cash inflows using the discounted cash flow technique, which is applied to each period the inflows are expected. The total present value of the cash flows is deducted from the initial investment to determine NPV.

NPV assumes that cash inflows are reinvested at the cost of capital.

NPV is similar to discounted cash flow.
