PART 1 Net present value represents the difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows (Gallant, 2023). A positive NPV means that an investment is worth investing in, NPV of zero would indicate that the investment would be balanced between the cash inflows and outflows, if the NPV is negative than the investment would not be worth investing in. The internal rate of return or IRR is used by companies to estimate how much profit would the investment generate over time. NPV and IRR can help a company make smarter decisions and reduce risk when it comes to investing. What are things/scenarios that would greatly affect the NPV & IRR? and why? PART 2 Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time.

Net present value represents the difference between the present value of cash inflows and
outflows (Gallant, 2023). A positive NPV means that an investment is worth investing in, NPV
of zero would indicate that the investment would be balanced between the cash inflows and
outflows, if the NPV is negative than the investment would not be worth investing in. The
internal rate of return or IRR is used by companies to estimate how much profit would the
investment generate over time. NPV and IRR can help a company make smarter decisions and
reduce risk when it comes to investing.
