Key Concepts

Time Value of Money

This is a fundamental financial principle that acknowledges money available now is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earnings capacity. It serves as the basis for discounting future cash flows to their present value.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

A valuation method used to estimate the value of an investment based on its expected future cash flows, which are adjusted for the time value of money by applying a discount rate.

Net Present Value (NPV)

A capital budgeting technique that sums the present values of incoming and outgoing cash flows over a period of time. A positive NPV indicates that the projected earnings exceed the anticipated costs, making the investment attractive.

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

A metric used to evaluate the attractiveness of a project or investment, defined as the discount rate that sets the net present value of all cash flows (both incoming and outgoing) equal to zero.

Payback Period

A simple investment appraisal method that calculates the time required for an investment to generate enough cash flows to recover the initial cost. Unlike other methods, it does not incorporate the time value of money or provide a measure of overall profitability.
