Net Present Value is a simple, straightforward measurement when judging investment projects. It considers the time value during the calculation, which converts the money from the future to the present value, However, it can miss leading the investor at a certain case. In this paper, we will mainly be focusing on the NPV, by elaborate on how it works in the case, the calculation of it, the history, the numerical analysis. Additionally, we will compare NPV with other similar tools including Internal Rate of Return and Payback period that are used to measuring the value of the project, by illustrating their advantages and disadvantages.
