Figure 3 shows the results of a capital budgeting analysis. The 10 programs under consideration were evaluated based on their fnancial and economic viability. The standard economicmetrics such asNPV, IRR,MIRR, ROI, and others are shown. The bar chart provides a visual representation of one of themetrics, whereas the bubble chart shows multiple result metrics at once (e.g., the NPV on the x-axis and the IRR on the y-axis, and size represents NPV with Terminal Value). In this chart, the large-ball programs on the top far right of the chart would be better ranked than smaller ball projects on the bottom left.
