develop the technology in house. I apply four traditional performance measures (NPV‚ IRR‚ MIRR and Payback period) to decide whether to buy or build the technology.

Last but not the least‚ I have the after-tax cash flow and I use excel to calculate the NPV‚ IRR‚ MIRR‚ and Payback period. From NPV perspective‚ both buying and building the technology

estimate a proxy for a firm’s internal rate of return (IRR) in order to approximate the distortion between ARR and IRR. Results show that the magnitude of the difference is reduced for firms with a higher degree of matched expenses. The median magnitude is 2.3% for the highest matching quintile‚ suggesting that matching expenses provides a reasonable proxy for economic profitability.

discounted cash flow of valuation‚ which is the process of valuing an investment by discounting future cash flows. Comparison to another rule‚ which is called the Internal rate of return‚ uses the discount rate that makes the NPV of an Investment zero.

Driss Fares-Introduction In this report‚ I aim to present a thorough outline of a method of project appraisal: Net Present Value (NPV).

Along with the IRR (internal Rate of Return)‚ the NPV method is regarded as more comprehensive than the simpler‚ more traditional Payback method. It withal considers the time value for money principle. I will compare it to a simpler method of project appraisal: the Payback

Chemicals. To make a compelling case‚ Frank and Lucy try to make a financial model to calculate the NPV‚ IRR and Payback period for this project but are challenged on several aspects.
