superiority of cash flow techniques in investment appraisal

VipinVipin9y ago
why is that cash flow techniques like NPV, IRR is considered superior to methods like ARR which considers annual operating profit? One reason I could think of is that, a profit can be manipulated by managers.

The other main reason is that NPV and IRR take into account the time value of money. That concept is the foundation of discounting.
