mainly traditional and Discounting Factor (DCF) methods. In traditional method consist of Payback and Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) which don’t have the time value adjustment. But in DCF method Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) are included and they are adjusting the time value of money to the cash flows. These techniques give different benefits and limitations in investment evaluation process, although as per the theoretical view DCF analysis may give more benefit to the

under the NPV criterion if the cost of capital is high, while the long-term project might be deemed better if the cost of capital is low. Determine whether or not changes in the cost of capital could ever cause a change in the internal rate of return (IRR) ranking of two (2). To examine the profitability of project, NPV is often used in preparing a budget for the costs of capital. It is quite challenging (at least for me) to determine the profitability of a project because there are several ways to

balance their work. Conventionally, a high, positive NPV and a high IRR are important determinants to choose a project. In terms of 5 CPRs in Target CEC situation, we believe Doug Scovanner should also consider “area demographics”, “population growth” and “affluent communities”. As a result, we suggest Scovanner to accept Gopher Place, Whalen Court, The Barn and Stadium Remodel. Firstly, Gopher, The Barn and Stadium all have a high IRR (12.3%,16.4% and 10.8%) and high, positive NPV (>$10 million)

Capital budgeting techniques: In making decisions regarding investment in a certain project, a number of techniques referred to as capital budgeting techniques namely net present value (NPV), profitability index (PI), internal rate of return (IRR) and payback period are used. The net present value (NPV) is defined as the discounted present value of a project’s future cash flows. This means that for the project to be viable, the present value of invested cash should be positive that is the present
