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

  2. It should have automatic bill numbering
  3. It should have Printable bill
  4. It should have a customer database form and recording
