Present Value

PV = ∑ni=1

Ci

(1+k)i

NPV = PV + C0

NPV = ∑ni=0

Ci

(1+k)i

Net present value criterion

Is the NPV of the investment greater than $0 ?

NPV > ∑ni=0

Ci

(1+k)i

4/13

Internal rate of returncriterion

What is the investment rate of return, IRR, thatresults in a NPV of $0 ?

NPV = ∑ni=0

Ci

(1+k)i

0 = ∑ni=0

Ci

(1+IRR)i

Discounted payback periodcriterion

How many periods, m, does the investmentrequire to have a NPV equal to $0?

NPV = ∑ni=0

Ci

(1+k)i

0 = ∑mi=0

Ci

(1+k)i

Payback period criterion

How many periods, m, does the investmentrequire to have a NPV equal to $0?

NPV = ∑ni=0

Ci

(1+k)i

0 = ∑mi=0 Ci

Break- even analysis

Set NP = 0, solve for Q

Accounting breakeven:

Cash breakeven:

NP = R − VC − FC − DXNP = Q ⋅ (p − v) − FC − DX

Q = FC+DXp−v

Q = FCp−v
