Abstract

With the development of the economy, the focus of the company’s development shifts to investment decision-making. The indicators used in evaluating investment options are divided into discounted and non-discounted indicators. Discounted indicators take the time value factor into account, including net present value, present value index, and internal rate of return. On the other hand, the time value of money is not considered by non-discounted indicators, which have payback period, accounting return period, etc. And the approaches of net present value and internal rate of return, as the two methods with the largest range of applications, are often debated on which one is better. This paper will analyse this issue, the advantages and disadvantages of these two methods, and whether the modified solutions have the perfect answer for the company’s investment decision.
