the future positive cash flow in return.
Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference of the total cash inflows and the total cash outflows of the project.
The net cash flow is then discounted by the rate of cost of capital.
This technique incorporates all the relevant future cash flow making it more viable in the investment appraisal tools.
The NPV of the Sneakers project is $205,457,408 so we would accept the project.
