Time-value-of-money analysis, present value, annuities, discounted cash flow, NPV and IRR provide ways to compare capital alternatives on a consistent basis. Lease-versus-buy analysis, risk-adjusted discount rates, scenarios and sensitivity testing show which assumptions drive a decision. These methods connect equipment and operating requirements with capital justification without treating an estimate as a realized result.
