| A process of discounting cash flows that are expected in the future to make them comparable in value with cash flows received today.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The DCF process is widely used in investment appraisal, where the rate used to discount with is a measure of the appropriately risk-adjusted cost of capital.
| |
| | |
| Where the sum of discounted future positive cash flows (inflows) is calculated, this is often referred to as the total ''Present value'' of those cash flows.
| |
| | |
| Where the present value of future expected cash flows is netted against discounted investment outflows, this is referred to as the ''Net present value'' of the investment proposal.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Discounted cash flow techniques include Net Present Value (NPV) analysis and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) analysis.
