Evaluating the efficiency of a project taking into consideration alternative investments

  • Published:
Mathematical Models and Computer Simulations Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper proposes an approach to studying the economic efficiency of investment in projects of different duration, based on the methods of mathematical modeling. The proposed approach defines real and nominal yield, the dynamics of lost profits and the real present value of the project with changing opportunity costs, and examines the impact of inflation on project performance indicators.
