HOW AN INCREASE IN THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE INVESTMENT AFFECTS NET PRESENT VALUE.

Q: Explain how an increase in the useful life of the investment will affect the net present value, holding all other parameters as constants?


A: The present value of the expected future net cash flows is equal to the sum of all individual cash flows for each period, discounted at the required rate of return. An increase in the useful life of the investment keeping the discount rate and initial investments unchanged, will result in an increase in the net present value of the investment.
