       Return  on Investment (ROI)
       Return on Net Assets (RONA)
       Breakeven and Payback Period
       Net Present Value (NPV)
       Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

    Represent cash flows over time

    Invest Rs. 10,000 today and get Rs. 2,000 per
     year for next 5 years
    Invest Rs. 1,000 today, Rs. 5,000 in year 3 and
     get Rs. 2,000 per year till year 5 and Rs. 3,000
     from then until year 10
    Invest Rs. 10,000 today and get Rs. 700 per
     year forever
    Invest Rs. 10,000 today and get Rs. 500 per
     year growing annually at 1% forever
    Four key events:
       E0: Buy raw material from vendor
       E1: Pay vendor for raw material
       E2: Sell finished goods to customer
       E3: Collect payment from customer

    How does the timeline look for this ? Why ?
    Cash conversion cycle or CCC, also known as the asset
     conversion cycle, net operating cycle, working capital cycle or
     just cash cycle, is used in the financial analysis of a business.
         The higher the number, the longer a firm's money is tied up in business
          operations and unavailable for other activities such as investing. The cash
          conversion cycle is the number of days between paying for raw materials and
          receiving cash from selling goods made from that raw material.
         A short cash conversion cycle indicates good working capital management.
          Conversely, a long cash conversion cycle suggests that capital is tied up while
          the business waits for customers to pay.
         It is possible for a business to have a negative cash conversion cycle, i.e.
          receiving customer payments before having to pay suppliers. Examples are
          typically companies that employ Just In Time practices such as Dell, and
          companies that buy on extended credit terms and sell for cash, such as Tesco.
          The longer the production process, the more cash the firm must keep tied up in
          inventories. Similarly, the longer it takes customers to pay their bills, the higher
          the value of accounts receivable. On the other hand, if a firm can delay paying
          for its own materials, it may reduce the amount of cash it needs. In other words,
          accounts payable reduce net working capital.
    Cash Cycle = DSI + DSO – DPO
       Days
           Sales in Inventory (DSI): how many days the
      inventory remain in stock before being sold ?
       o  E2 – E1
       Days
           Sales Outstanding (DSO): time between
      customer purchase and collection of payment
       o  E3 – E2
       DaysPayable Outstanding (DPO): how many days
      does the firm take to pay to its creditors
       o  E1 – E0
    A kirana shop
       Day  1: buys goods on credit from vendor /
        distributor
       Day 5: sells to customer
       Day 7: gets payment from customer
       Day 15: pays back to vendor / distributor

    An eatery
       Day 1: buys raw material (grocery, vegetables, etc.)
       Day 2: sells ‘finished goods’ to customers
       Day 2: gets payment from customer
       Day 3: pays back to vendor
    A ‘JIT’ manufacturer
       Day 1: Gets payment from customer
       Day 2: buys raw material
       Day 7: ‘sells’ to customer
       Day 10: pays for raw material to vendor

    Is such a scenario possible ?
