NPV

Read a random definition: special occupant

A quick definition of NPV:

NPV: NPV stands for net present value. It is a way to figure out if an investment is worth it. It takes into account how much money you will make in the future and how much it will cost you to invest that money now. If the NPV is positive, it means the investment is a good idea. If it is negative, it means the investment is not worth it.

A more thorough explanation:

NPV stands for net present value. It is a financial term used to evaluate the investment potential of a project. It is calculated by finding the present value of net cash flow from a project and then discounting it by the cost of capital.

  • If a company invests $10,000 in a project and expects to receive $12,000 in net cash flow after one year, the NPV can be calculated by finding the present value of $12,000 and then subtracting the initial investment of $10,000. If the cost of capital is 5%, the present value of $12,000 is $11,428.57. Therefore, the NPV is $1,428.57.
  • Another example could be a real estate investment. If an investor purchases a property for $200,000 and expects to receive rental income of $20,000 per year for 10 years, the NPV can be calculated by finding the present value of the rental income and then subtracting the initial investment. If the cost of capital is 8%, the present value of the rental income is $148,024. Therefore, the NPV is -$51,976, which means the investment is not profitable.

These examples illustrate how NPV is used to evaluate the profitability of an investment. A positive NPV indicates that the investment is profitable, while a negative NPV indicates that the investment is not profitable. It helps investors make informed decisions about whether to invest in a project or not.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
