When assessing the value of capital investments, they often do not pay due attention to those capital investments that are associated with the formation of a sufficient amount of working capital, focusing on fixed assets. Meanwhile, capital investments in the project working capital formation are necessary to cover the costs of the preparatory process, inventory formation, and the creation of a reserve for the period until payments are received for receivables on products sold. During the period of acquisition of assets, one of the important components of investment costs, along with capital expenditures in fixed assets and intangible assets, is net working capital, which is the cost of increasing working capital (current assets). It should also be noted that when evaluating the effectiveness of real investment projects at the stage of feasibility study, it is neither possible nor necessary to calculate net discounted income for individual periods, since at this stage of analysis, it is unlikely that annual differentiation of costs and results will be provided. Thus, when determining the effectiveness of an investment project at the stage of pre-feasibility study of the main decisions, it is justified to use simplified calculations of operating results based on annuity models. An important problem should be recognized as modeling the mechanism for returning invested amounts. To ensure the adequacy of the algorithm taking into account the reimbursement of non-recurring costs in the calculation of investment performance should take into account the flow of funds sinking Fund (in the form of means for reproduction of fixed assets and the depreciation; or funds that ensures return on investment). In the same section, the organization's assets that remain after the end of the business project should be taken into account. In the article, the authors present the improvement of the model for forming business project indicators at the pre-project stage of evaluating the effectiveness of investments, taking into account all these aspects.
