Net present value (NPV) is a standard method for the
financial appraisal of long-term projects. Used for capital
budgeting, and widely throughout economics, it measures the
excess or shortfall of cash flows, in present value (PV)
terms, once financing charges are met. By definition,
NPV = Present value of net cash flows
Where
t - the time of the cash flow
n - the total time of the project
r - the discount rate
Ct - the net cash flow (the amount of cash) at time t.
C0 - the capital outlay at the beginning of the investment
time ( t = 0 )
