planning to analyze the profitability of a projected investment or project.
The following formula is used to calculate NPV:
NPV=∑24_(𝑡=1)^𝑛▒𝑅𝑡/(1+𝑖)𝑡
where:
Rt=Net cash inflowoutflows during a single period t
i=Discount rate or return that could be earned inalternative investments
t=Number of timer periods
PI: Productivity index (PI) The productivity index is defined as the flow rate per unit pressure drop and serves as a
PI=𝑞/(𝑝−𝑃𝑤𝑓)

ECV: Expected commercial value (ECV) is what a company seeks in terms of maximizing the value of commercial
