What is
'Net Present Value - NPV'
Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference
between the present value of cash inflows
and the present value of cash outflows.
NPV is used in capital budgeting to
analyze the profitability of a project or a
projected investment.
-
32.
Activity 5
Net Present Value – NPV.
Competitive advantage
of a company
-
33.
NPV = (i=1 S t) CFt/(1+r)t - Ni
CFt - net cash flow (incomings minus expenditures),
r - interest rate (expected rate of return on investment),
t - number of periods,
Ni - investment expenditure,
Positive value of NPV means that the investment
(finance or develoment) has been profitable i.e. today’s
value of future profits is higher than investment
expenditures related to utilization.
Negative value of NPV means that the investment
project should be rejected due to its non – profitability
-

investments and evaluate it if it was

ought not to be excessive spare cash which could be

credits, factoring) in order to minimize the costs of
debts, credits ad other liabilities.

(The net present value rule, a logical outgrowth of net present value theory, refers to the idea that company managers or investors should only invest in projects or engage in transactions which have a positive net present value (NPV), and should avoid investing in projects which have negative net present values. According to the net present value rule theory, investing in something that has a net present value greater than zero should logically increase a company's earnings; or in the case of an investor, increase a shareholders’ wealth.
Net present value is a commonly used metric in capital budgeting that accounts for the time value of money, which is the idea that future dollars have less value than presently held dollars. It is a discounted cash flow calculation that reflects the potential change in wealth resulting from an undertaking, factoring in the time value of money by discounting projected cash flows back to the present, using a company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC). A project or investment's NPV equals the present value of net cash inflows that the project is expected to generate, minus the initial required investment for the project.
Every lense shows a partial information concerning a company and all three give the complete and reliable evaluation as for the company’s situation.

Factoring
Financial transaction and a type of debtor finance in which a business sells its accounts receivable to a third party (called a factor) at a discount. A business will sometimes factor its receivable assets to meet its present and immediate cash needs. Factoring is commonly referred to as accounts receivable factoring, invoice factoring, and sometimes accounts receivable financing. Accounts receivable financing is a term more accurately used to describe a form of asset based lending against accounts receivable.
Franchasing
is the practice of the right to use a firm's business model and brand for a prescribed period of time. The word "franchise" is of Anglo-French derivation—from franc, meaning free—and is used both as a noun and as a (transitive) verb. For the franchisor, the franchise is an alternative to building "chain stores" to distribute goods that avoids the investments and liability of a chain. The franchisor's success depends on the success of the franchisees. The franchisee is said to have a greater incentive than a direct employee because they have a direct stake in the business
Forfaiting
Forfaiting is a factoring arrangement used in international trade finance by exporters who wish to sell their receivables to a forfaiter
Leasing
A lease is a contractual arrangement calling for the lessee (user) to pay the lessor (owner) for use of an asset. Property, buildings and vehicles are common assets that are leased. Industrial or business equipment is also leased
