discounted at a rate that is consistent with the projects risk. NPV=0 – This is because the investment’s cash flows precisely satisfy the investor’s expectation of the percentage of return. Economic value added (EVA) – This metric subtracts “normal profit” from an investment’s cash flow to determine whether the investment is adding value for shareholders.

But probably the major criticism is that a straight payback method ignores the time value of money. To get around this problem, you should also consider the net present value of the project, as well as its internal rate of return.

assigned so that they make the best allocation of resources.

Other models just basically employed the concept of the time value of money. We have seen that more current models are attempting to include their analysis factors that
