Generally speaking NPV ( Net Present Value ) and IRR ( Internal Rate of Return ) metrics help us decide whether to accept or reject investment proposals. The following figure illustrates graphically both methods in our current example. This graph is called NPV Profile which points out the curvilinear relationship between NPV for a project and the discount rate. At a discount rate of zero, the NPV is just the total cash inflows minus the total cash outflows of the project. Assuming the conventional

management needs to use capital budgeting techniques to determine which projects will yield the most return over an applicable period of time. Various methods of capital budgeting can include throughput analysis, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), discounted cash flow (DCF) and payback period. There are three popular methods for deciding which projects should receive investment funds over other projects. These methods are throughput analysis, DCF analysis and payback period

for the firm to utilize. Consequently, this memo will also serve to explain the fundamental differences between the following two techniques, net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). Differences: NPV and IRR There are many techniques available for managers to use when analyzing potential capital investments. NPV compares the present value of an investment with the costs associated with the investment. The difference between the present value and the cost of the investment

evaluate projects we mainly analyze Net present value (NPV) As first preference and then Internal rate of returns (IRR) Net present value (NPV) :- The difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows. NPV is used in capital budgeting to analyze the profitability of an investment or project. NPV analysis is sensitive to the reliability of future cash inflows that an investment or project will yield. NPV compares the value of a dollar today to the value of
