1.2.1.4. Net Present Value (NPV)Another time value of money concept that has to do with serial payments is net present value, or NPV . This calculation is a more complex version of the basic present value calculation mentioned earlier. Under a net present value calculation, the present value of each future cash inflow and outflow is calculated. Then the results are added to determine whether, in the present, the project has a positive value or negative value for a company or investor.
For example, if a company was going to invest $10,000 today, receive $4,000 each of the next three years, and then have to pay an additional $1,000 to exit the investment, an investor or company would want to know if the investment will result in a loss once the time value of money is considered.
Assuming an 8% annual interest rate, the calculation may look something like this, with the present values of money flowing out represented by negative numbers and money flowing in represented by positive numbers:
Cash Flows

Initial Investment
– $10,000
– $10,000
Year #1 Payment

+ $3,704
Year #2 Payment
+ $4,000
+ $3,429
Year #3 Payment
+ $4,000
+ $3,175
Final Investment
– $1,000

What are people saying?
Jeremy and team, thank you for your excellent study materials and your availability to provide guidance and feedback as I was able to pass my Series 66 on the first try...
The most telling confirmation your training materials are top notch...
when I sat for my exam, once the test started and I read the first question, I instantly knew from my studies using the Solomon training, I was going to handle the test. Being able to sense this from the first question was more than comforting.
Thank you again!

Solomon Exam Prep materials are head and shoulders above any other company's products. I have purchased several other companies' materials and found that when it came time to take the crucial step of practice exams, every other company's answer explanations simply were too brief to be truly educational, or worse, sometimes contradictory to the text. That is when I turned to Solomon Exam Prep. After purchasing their materials, an actual team member emailed me almost every other day to ask how I was doing with my studying and offered assistance if I had questions. With this kind of support, you aren't trying to climb the mountain of becoming licensed alone! Finally, the owner also contacted me several times to thank me for my purchase and to check on my progress. There is no other company out there doing business in this exemplary way. Please be kind to yourself and START with Solomon Exam Prep materials for the BEST of success!

Hi Jeremy & Karen, I just passed my 66 today! I'm so thrilled! I had an interruption of my studies a few weeks back due to some distracting issues, but I got back on track, focused hard on the book, the practice quizzes and exams, and I made it! I'm a true believer in the value of your study materials. I'd recommend your firm's materials to anyone that wants to pass the first time they take these really challenging exams. Now I've got my Series 7 and my Series 66, and I did it with the terrific support of this Exam Prep. Thank you for these great study materials.
