In this course, you will understand the fundamental principle that money available now is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity. Additionally, you will master the concepts of Net Present Value (NPV) and breakeven analysis, which allow different cash flows at different periods of time to be compared and summed to determine whether a project is expected to create value. You will apply these concepts by conducting investment evaluations and completing practical assessments on financial projections.
This course is ideal for non-financial managers or professionals who seek to enhance their financial acumen to make better business decisions. No prior experience in finance is required. However, a basic understanding of business operations and strategic thinking will be beneficial.
In this module, you will receive a course overview, learn about your instructor's background, and have an opportunity to introduce yourself and meet your peers.

第 3 单元•小时 后完成
单元详情
In this module, you will learn how to use the concepts of Net Present Value (NPV) and breakeven analysis to evaluate investment opportunities. NPV allows you to compare and sum different cash flows at various periods to determine if a project is expected to create value. Breakeven analysis identifies the point at which a project reaches cash flow zero.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
