Question:
For IRR and NPV calculations use the PV of an Annuity sheet below
Payback Method - Simplest - How long does it take to recover your investment?
Investment! Future cash flows or savings = years to recover investment
Internal Rate of Return - The percentage rate of return a project will earn.
Investment! Future cash flows or savings; then use the the table (present value of an annuity) to find the % rate of return In the table, use the years you are given in the exercise. follow the row down to the closest number calculated above and look at the heading to get the %
Net Present Value (NPV) - Does the project meet the hurdle rate?
Discount the future cash flows at the predetermined rate then subtract it from the cost of the investment, if the number is positive it will meet the rate of return, if not, it won't
Don't suffer ask questions if you get hung up
