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.
Calculation of Profitability Index. While the NPV shows if the investment will yield a profit (positive NPV) or a loss (negative NPV), the profitability index will show the degree of the profit or loss. Business owners can use either the Present Value of Future Cash Flows (PV) or the Net Present Value (NPV) to calculate the profitability index. Profitability Index = (PV/Amount Invested) = 1 + (NPV/Amount Invested) Using the example, a company expects to receive $100,000 three years from now on an $85,000 investment.
