NPV refers to the value of all future cash flows (negative and positive) over the entire
investment. The NPV is used to compare the rate of return of different projects (Magn
Marchioni, 2020). If the NPV is positive, it is profitable. If the NPV is negative, it is
However, NPV isn't useful when trying to decide which projects to take on as size or
