where:
C0 = initial cash outlay on project
Ct = net cash flow generated by project at time t
n = life of the project
r = internal rate of return

projects cash flows.
Does not consider how profitable a project will be, just
how quickly outlay will be recovered.
EVAt = Ct + (I t I t 1 ) kI t 1
where:
Ct = net cash flow generated by project at time t
I t = investment value, end of year t
I t 1 = investment value, end of year t -1
k = required rate of return
