The Net Present Value:

The Net Present Value is a popular capital budgeting technique that is used in assessing prospective investment proposals.

The net present value is measured as the net of the total present value of all cash inflows across the life of the project and the initial cash outflows.

A project is considered for investment if its NPV is positive and rejected if it's negative.
