Future Worth (FW) Analysis

Used to determine when to sell an asset before the expected life is reached.

  Used for projects that will not come online until the end of the investment period.  Electric generation facilities, toll roads and hotels are prime examples of this types of projects.

  FW > or = 0 indicates that the MARR has been met or exceeded for one alternative.

  For two or more mutually exclusive alternatives, select the one with the numerically largest FW value.
