RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Simple payback
break even -
C=cxt
C = initial investment, c = annual savings, t = time
Net Present Value -
[ c x t / (1+r)t ] - C
c = annual savings
t = time in years (expected life of savings stream)
r = discount factor (competing rate of return)
C = initial investment
Internal Rate of Return -
If NPVr > NPVIRR then invest in project, else no.
