1): Present Value It is an indicator of the actual purchasing power and value of future cash inflows and outflows in the present day. It is calculated by multiplying the cash inflows and cash outflows with a discounting factor. This discounting factor is chosen depending on: a) The circumstances and the proposals to be evaluated, b) The risk factors of investment and c) The expectancy of returns. While evaluating future cash inflows, the alternative with the highest net present value for a given discounting factor is preferred. Present value of each scenario and highest present value.

Definition Definition Calculation used to evaluate the investment and financing decisions that involve cash flows occurring over multiple periods. NPV is calculated as the difference between the present value of cash inflow and cash outflow. NPV is used for capital budgeting and investment planning as well as to compare similar investment alternatives.

To determine
1):
Present Value
It is an indicator of the actual purchasing power and value of future cash inflows and outflows in the present day. It is calculated by multiplying the cash inflows and cash outflows with a discounting factor.
This discounting factor is chosen depending on:
a) The circumstances and the proposals to be evaluated,
b) The risk factors of investment and
c) The expectancy of returns.
While evaluating future cash inflows, the alternative with the highest net present value for a given discounting factor is preferred.
Present value of each scenario and highest present value.
To determine
c) The expectancy of returns.
While evaluating future cash inflows, the alternative with the highest net present value for a given discounting factor is preferred.
Present value of each scenario and highest present value if the discounting factor is 12%
