How to use Business Case Financial Analysis
- Load the worked example to see the required input format.
- Evaluate NPV, conventional IRR, payback and the investment ratio for annual net cash flows. Use consistent units, periods and definitions.
- Select Calculate, review the assumptions and export the result for your project evidence.
Formula and method
NPV = −initial investment + Σ(CFt / (1 + r)^t). IRR solves NPV = 0. Payback interpolates the first undiscounted recovery period.
Interpretation and assumptions
Cash flows occur at year-end. Enter net inflows after recurring costs. Currency must be consistent. Simple payback is undiscounted. IRR is reported only for a conventional initial outflow followed by non-negative inflows; it is not a guaranteed return.
Results support professional judgement. They are not a certification of process stability, a financial commitment or a substitute for study design.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use the business case financial analysis?
Evaluate NPV, conventional IRR, payback and the investment ratio for annual net cash flows. Load the example first, then replace all inputs with consistent process data and select Calculate. NPV = −initial investment + Σ(CFt / (1 + r)^t). IRR solves NPV = 0. Payback interpolates the first undiscounted recovery period.
What assumptions matter for business case financial analysis?
Cash flows occur at year-end. Enter net inflows after recurring costs. Currency must be consistent. Simple payback is undiscounted. IRR is reported only for a conventional initial outflow followed by non-negative inflows; it is not a guaranteed return.
