The Projections NPV category calculates the Present Values of some of the Projections functions. Conventionally, when using Business Functions to do DCF, you first or all prepare a full cash flow using projections functions such as FStep, Con, or AnnGrow and calculate the Net Present Value of the result. If you are confident of your input data, there is of course no need to do this - the function has sufficient information to calculate the NPV directly. This category of functions takes the same input data as you might use in the corresponding projections function, and prepares a full cash flow internally within Business Functions, which it then discounts. The effect is exactly the same as doing the full cashflow in your spreadsheet, but only using one cell and one function call, instead of a whole cash flow of calculations. |
