two are very popular Net present value and Internal rate of return.

NPV discounts the future cash flows convert them into present value and subtract initial cost outlay. If positive take the project

 

IRR is the hit and trail method to compute the % rate based on cash flows. there can be two IRRs too.  If cash flow changes signs so there could be different IRRs.

 

NPV and IRR could also give conflicting results. Use NPV in such scenario.
