Step 1
Net Present Value is the difference of Present Value of Cash Inflow and outflow. Excess of Present Value of Cash Inflow to Cash Outflow indicates that investment in a particular field is viable. While negative figure indicates that cash inflow will not be able to cover the investment.
Present Value Index is the ratio of Present Value of Future Cash Flows to that of Initial Investment. A ratio below 1 is rejected while a ratio greater than 1 is accepted.
