Definitions
• Discount factor: the rate by which future cash flows are discounted (reduced) to reflect the current interest rate.

Net Present Value Method
• Considers the total return from an investment in today’s terms.
• It recognises that £100 received today from the investment is worth more than £100 received in the future. Due to inflation.
• It calculates the net cash gain in today’s money terms.

Net Present Value
Step 1: Multiply each year’s net cash inflow by the relevant discount factor, to calculate the NPV.

Analysis
Analysis:• If project is predicted to produce a positive NPV then it
should be accepted.
• If choosing between two investments, the highest NPV should be selected.
• If the NPV is negative then the project should be rejected.
• Positive NPV = Accept
• Negative NPV = Reject

Evaluation
• Advantages: Takes account of the fact that £1 today is worth less than £1 in the future; due to purchasing power falling and inflation changing.
• Disadvantages: Doesn’t take into account the speed of repayment, and it can be difficult to choose the correct discount factor, which non-financial managers can find hard to understand.

Further Exam Evaluation
• All three investment appraisal techniques are based on predictions of future cash inflows and outflows.
• How far into the future are these predictions being made? By who?
• Do they have any expertise?
• Do they have any financial experience?

commit to the project2• Impact of investment on other parts of
business3• Ease or difficulty with which the
