The Net Present Value
The NPV, or Net Present Value, is the present value, or actual value, of a future flow of funds. The present value of a future cash flow is the current worth of it. To know the current value, you must use a discount rate. The NPV includes not only the positive cash flows, or inflows, but also all expenditures, including the initial investment.
If the NPV is positive, it means that the actual value of all incomes is higher than the actual value of all expenditures, and the investment is desirable, because it adds more value than the best alternative.
