Step 1

In economics, present value refers to the current value of a future stream of cash flows. Net present value refers to the difference between the present value of cash inflow and the present value of cash outflow.

The net present value analysis is used to check the profitability of projects. The projects having a positive net present value are generally considered profitable.
