Cash Flows) for 3 years into the future. This must be broken down by year into two

must be discounted back to the present value by calculating EBIT (Operating
Income on the Income Statement) and that figure will be your cf n for each year. cf 0
(initial cost of your strategy), cf 1 (discounted cash flow first year), r (opportunity
cost of capital, the rate of the next best alternative use of cash/debt/equity
resources).
