I’m not from a business background so want to make sure I’m comfortable with the formula before the interview if needed!

Never seen NPV for a case interview. Typically P&L is as complicated as it gets.

Thank you! Have my final round in a week so wanted to make sure!

I would be extremely surprised if they expect you to calculate NPV - that can get complicated real quick

More likely a perpetuity question that a true NPV

Yeah I had an MBB case where it was a NPV calculation using perpetuity formula
