Let's look at common types of calculation and analysis.

Calculating NPV and IRR for a Business Idea
Let's consider a hypothetical situation: launching a new product - a smart watering system for indoor plants.

Initial data:

Initial investment: 5,000,000 rubles

Projected cash flows: Year 1: RUB 1,500,000 Year 2: RUB 2,500,000 Year 3: RUB 3,500,000 Year 4: RUB 4,000,000 Year 5: RUB 4,500,000

Discount rate: 12%

NPV calculation:

NPV = -5,000,000 + 1,500,000/(1.12)^1 + 2,500,000/(1.12)^2 + 3,500,000/(1.12)^3 + 4,000,000/(1, 12)^4 + 4,500,000/(1,12)^5

NPV = 5,332,046 RUB.

To calculate IRR, we use the iteration method brazil mobile phone numbers database or a special function in Excel. In this case, IRR is approximately 41%.

Interpretation of results and conclusions
NPV > 0: This means that the business idea will increase the company's value by 5,332,046 rubles at the given discount rate. A positive NPV value indicates the potential attractiveness of the idea.

IRR = 41%: This value is significantly higher than the discount rate (12%), indicating a high potential return on the idea. IRR can be interpreted as the maximum cost of capital at which the idea remains profitable.

Conclusions :

The business idea looks attractive from a value creation perspective.

A high IRR value implies a significant margin of safety.

An idea can remain profitable even if the cost of capital increases significantly or revenues decline.
