How It Works
NPV = Σ CFₜ / (1 + r)ᵗ − Initial
CFₜ = cash flow in year t · r = discount rate
$10,000 now · +$4,000/yr for 3 yrs · 8%
- 1NPV = 4000/1.08 + 4000/1.1664 + 4000/1.2597 − 10000
- 2NPV ≈ 3704 + 3429 + 3175 − 10000
Result: ≈ +$308 — accept the project
Pro Tip
Positive NPV = value created. Negative = value destroyed.
