By intervening early, SBIRT saves lives and money and is consistent with overall support for patient wellness. Late-stage intervention and substance abuse treatment is expensive, and the patient has often developed comorbid health conditions.
Example 1: Even Cash Inflows: Calculate the net present value of a project which requires an initial investment of $243,000 and it is expected to generate a cash inflow of $50,000 each month for 12 months. Assume that the salvage value of the project is zero. The target rate of return is 12% per annum. Solution.
NPV is the acronym for net present value. Net present value is a calculation that compares the amount invested today to the present value of the future cash receipts from the investment. In other words, the amount invested is compared to the future cash amounts after they are discounted by a specified rate of return.
