near death experience

(n.) Alleged by many, but unproven either way occurence where someone on the brink of death experiences bliss, a tunnel with a light at the end, and a feeling of knowledge of all thier activities. The experiencer will claim to see any number of things, such as thier own (scientifically) dead body.

That guy has had a near death experience.

net present value

Money has a time value, net present value is future cashflows brought back to today's value against a discount factor (11% is standard), minus the initial investment. If the net present value of cumulative cashflows is positive, then the project should be accepted, unless a more profitable investment is also availiable.

To calculate the NPV of an investment, one must know the discount factor, cost of investment and expected incomes (based off accurate data)
