You can calculate NPV and IRR to determine the feasibility of project : NPV(rate, value1, [value2], …) Determine the net present value using cash flows that occur at regular intervals, such as monthly or annually. Each cash flow, specified as a value, occurs at the end of a period. If there is an additional cash flow at the start of the first period, it should be added to the value returned by the NPV function. See Example 2 in the NPV Help topic. XNPV(rate, values, dates) Determine the net present value using cash flows that occur at irregular intervals. Each cash flow, specified as a value, occurs at a scheduled payment date. IRR(values, [guess]) Determine the internal rate of return using cash flows that occur at regular intervals, such as monthly or annually. Each cash flow, specified as a value, occurs at the end of a period. IRR is calculated through an iterative search procedure that starts with an estimate for IRR — specified as a guess — and then repeatedly varies that value until a correct IRR is reached. Specifying a guess argument is optional; Excel uses 10% as the default value. If there is more than one acceptable answer, the IRR function only returns the first one it finds. If the IRR doesn't find any answer, it returns a #NUM! error value. Use a different value for the guess if you get an error or if the result is not what you expected. Note A different guess might return a different result if there is more than one possible internal rate of return. read less
