    one of the advantages of NPV over other methods such as ARR & Payback is that considers the entire life of the Project and considers cash flow instead of profit.

    My question is: if a scenario give you a period of 5 years to calculate NPV with estimated cash inflow and outflow

    what happens after year 5?- Does that mean that after the 5 years the project seizes to exist??
    is the 5 years the whole life of the project??

    Yes – if you have no data for years 6 etc, you can’t invent it.

    All NPV calculations make an assumption about when the project ends. Sometimes scrap sales come in then too.
