Notes

  1. 1.

    Prescriptive: based on standards and rules. Descriptive: based on empirical findings.

  2. 2.

    Present value is synonymous with cash value.

  3. 3.

    In works about project appraisal it is quite usual to provide extensive tables of discount factors. This is not done here because spreadsheet programmes are so readily available.
