a doll’s features to the customers’ specifications. To help Emily reach her decision, I will calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of both projects to find out which project is more profitable.

1. Net Present Value: Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows. NPV compares the value of a dollar today to the value of that same dollar in the future, taking inflation and returns into account. NPV is calculated using the following formula: NPV= -C0 + C11+r+ C21+r2+…+ Ct(1+r)t - C0 = initial investment C = cash flow r = discount rate t = time If the NPV of a prospective project is positive, the

The results indicated that there is a low probability of a positive Net Present Value (NPV) with current economic conditions. In general, the NPV was highest with a stationary scenario and it decreased with
