COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS

Net Present Value (NPV) is 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 a projected
investment or project.
Ct = net cash inflow during the period t
Co= total initial investment costs
r = discount rate, and
t = number of time periods

Internal rate of return (IRR) is a metric used in capital budgeting

measuring the profitability of potential investments. Internal rate of
return is a discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of all
cash flows from a particular project equal to zero. IRR calculations
rely on the same formula as NPV does. The interest rate at which
the project revenues and project costs are equal.
$0 = (initial outlay x -1) + CF1 / (1 + IRR) ^ 1 + CF2 / (1 + IRR) ^ 2 + ... +
CFX / (1 + IRR) ^ X
