Please note that the outgoing cash (in Year zero) is always shown Collectivization
as a negative,of asproducers, especially small and
it is an investment.
Looking at these three choices, only two strategies (B & C) have a positive NPV at a 12% discount rate while
the third (Strategy A) is negative. This means that even if the three strategies would cost the same (the sum

the best NPV (Strategy B in this case) should be normally selected most importantly,
over the other two.improved access to investments,
Now if the discount rate changes, the NPV would also change. For example if the discount rate is lowered from
12% to 8%, the resulting NPV would be:

This exercise demonstrates that in financial analysis, and especially in Net Present Value (NPV) analysis, the
choice of discount rate is crucial. However for investments, analysis only on the basis of NPV may lead to faulty
outcome and decision as its result hinges crucially on the discount rate adopted. Calculation of discount rate
is complicated and requires expert advice.
