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.

Hi,

For a Demand, Cost Plan record captures planned expense,  Benefit Plan records captures benefit and Budget records capture capex/opex budget amount. So in above shared screen capture

Expense from Cost Plan record 

    Capex Cost - $10,000

    Opex Cost - $20,000 

    Total =. Cpeax + Opex = $30,000

Amount from Benefit Plan = $100,000

Planned Return = Benefit - Expense =  100,000 - 30,000 = $70,000

ROI = (Planned Cost / Financial Return ) * 100 = 233%

Please refer https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/jakarta-it-business-management/page/product/planning-and-policy/task/t_CreatingDemands.html for more details.

Hi Yogesh, Can you please put the $ amounts in the ROI calculation?  I am having trouble coming out with the 233% you are showing above.  I had Planned Cost = 110,000 / 70,000 Return = 1.571 *100?

Please go to :

 

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/london-it-business-management/page/product/project-management/tas...

 

If you scroll down you will see NPV defined with a worked example.

 

However, to break this down into simple steps:

 

$1.00 today is worth $0.80 in two years time so the calculation uses the following data:

 

Today's cash = $1.00

Annual interest rate = 12%

Time Periods = 2

 

Formula

Today's Cash / (1+ Interest Rate) ^ Time Period

 

$1.00 / (1.12)^2  -> i.e. 1.12 to the power two or squared

 

$1.00 / 1.25

 

$0.80
