Hi Srini,

I took even distribution for cost plans in my earlier calculations, that is why it is slightly off from the system NPV. But now that I see your data, the calculation is matching perfectly. Here is how it is done.

FY19 License cost planned cost = 4285. FY20 License cost planned cost = 5714

FY19 Resource cost plan planned cost = 5760. FY20 Resource cost plan planned cost = 6240

Total FY19 Planned cost = 10045

Total FY20 Planned cost = 11954. After applying discount rate, FY20 planned cost = 11954/1.1 =  10867

Total Planned cost = 10045 + 10867 = 20912

FY19 Benefit cost = 8823

FY20 Benefit cost = 21176. After applying discount rate, FY20 benefit cost = 21176/1.1 = 19250

Total Benefit cost = 19251 + 8823 = 28073

NPV = 28073 - 20912 = 7161

 

Let me know if this helps.

My calculation is still not matching. I am adding all the details and excel sheet with all values. Can you try it with this example? 

Cost Plan 1 : License Cost

Cost Plan 2 : Resource Cost

Benefit Plan 

Calculation values on the system

My calculation is not matching. Attached sheet with all values, can you please try with these values to get the exact value?

Cost Plans 1: License Cost

Cost Plan 2: Resource Plan

Benefit Plan :

Following the threat, my calculation is also not matching. It's very hard to understand NVP and IRR. I tried with same example.

Thanks Sandeep that explains everything. I will create a new thread to understand the IRR for same example 🙂

 

Edit;

Created a new thread to understand the IRR calculation. Please pitch in that thread also to complete the calculation part.
