Abstract

JEFFI/3 is a Windows-version of JEFFI/2. The differences between the two versions are the new interface, an investment term of 1 to 30 years (instead of 4 to 30), and a rich set of detailed online help documents. JEFFI/3 still retains a number of unique features of JEFFII2 related to treatment of the final year cash flows, depreciation, working capital, and derivation of a discount rate. Like its predecessor, JEFFli3 is designed to provide a quick, first look at investment potential. JEFFI/3 still retains the Simplicity of earlier versions while generating sophisticated measures of financial performance. It provides both discounted (net present value, internal rate of return) and undiscounted (payback period) measure of investment performance. It also provides separate performance measures for returns to the overall investment and for returns to equity investors only. The latter gives explicit recognition to debt repayment (principal and interest) and returns to equity investors.
