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.
Example 4 â Net Present Value (NPV). Calculating the net present value (NPV) and/or internal rate of return (IRR) is virtually identical to finding the present value of an uneven cash flow stream as we did in Example 3. Suppose that you were offered the investment in Example 3 at a cost of $800.
