SLInvest is used to evaluate the financial
profitability and efficiency of investment projects.
A lot of financial operations imply several payments
in the process of carrying out a project instead of a
single payment at certain time. For example, when
buying a bond, the investor receives income in the
form of yearly coupon payments, but he also gets some
income when he sells this bond at its market price at
the moment of selling. In order to determine how
profitable this investment is, the investor has to
evaluate its profitability in comparison to other
possible investment projects.
SLInvest allows you to calculate main financial
indicators of investment projects (NPV, NFV, IRR),
which makes it possible to choose the most optimal and
profitable investment.
Main indicators:
- Net Present Value (NPV) - the total sum of money
discounted at the beginning of the project taking into
account the specified discount rate
- Net Future Value (NFV) - the total sum of money
obtained at the end of the project, while the money
obtained from the project increase at the specified
profitability equal to the discount rate
- Internal Rate of Return (IRR) - the discount rate
that results in a net present value of zero for series
of future cash flows.
The specified financial indicators are calculated both
separately for each project and for the company's
entire investment activity (as the total of all
projects).
Note that the program has no "Calculate" command
because all calculation are done once you change the
discount rate or an investment sum.
