Compute the net present value of a stream of cashflows at a given discount rate. Index 0 is treated as t=0 (today, not discounted); indices 1..n are discounted by (1+rate)^t. Matches Excel's NPV but with the conventional t=0 treatment most finance textbooks use (Excel itself starts discounting at t=1 - see notes). Use for capital-budgeting decisions: positive NPV = creates value at the discount rate; negative = destroys value.
