In capital budgeting there are a number of ways to evaluate projects; each approach has its own advantages.

An image of a dead caterpillar, obviously infected...The Net Present Value (NPV) compares the value of a dollar today to the value of that same dollar in the future, taking inflation and returns into account. When deciding between two different projects or many projects the NPV is used to help determine which project will yield the highest value to share holders and how much value can be added to a given company for investing in the project. When evaluating a single project if the NPV is positive it should be accepted. We calculate the NPV by:
Determining the cash out flow or cost of the equipment or project.
Any installations or set up costs should also show as cash out flows.
There may be tax credits that need to be taken into consideration because, in essence, that would be a cash inflow.
Another important factor in calculating the NPV is that tax rate used by the company.
