Abstract: Many irreversible investment problems studied in finance has the property that the cash flow representing the cost and the revenue of the investment occur at one time (either at the same time, or at two different times). In this note we present a framework in which the cash flows are allowed to be spread out in time, thus yielding a more realistic model. We show the effect of this extension in an investment case study example.
