Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Input Parameters and Sensitivity

Discounted cash flow analysis provides a means of relating the magnitude of expected future cash profits to the magnitude of the initial cash investment required to purchase an asset or to develop it for commercial production.

Toward a Certain Equivalent Discounted Cash Flow Model

Resource Investment Problem with Discounted Cash Flows

A resource investment problem is a project-scheduling problem in which the availability levels of the resources are considered as decision variables and the goal is to find a schedule, and resource requirement levels, such that some objective function optimizes. In this paper, we consider a resource investment problem in which the goal is to maximize the net present value of the project cash fl...
