|
| A discount factor is a number less than one, that we multiply a single future cash flow by, to work out its present value as:
| | 2. ''Marketing.'' |
|
| |
|
| PV = DF x future cashflow.
| | A customer that recommends a product or service to others. |
| | |
| | |
| The periodic discount factor is calculated from the periodic [[yield]] as:
| |
| | |
| DF = (1 + periodic yield)<SUP>-n</SUP>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Commonly abbreviated as DF(n,r) ''or'' DF<SUB>n,r</SUB>
| |
| | |
| Where:
| |
| | |
| n = number of periods.
| |
| | |
| r = periodic yield (or periodic cost of capital).
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| <span style="color:#4B0082">'''Example 1: Discount factor calculation'''</span>
| |
| | |
| Periodic yield or cost of capital (r) = 6%.
| |
| | |
| Number of periods in the total time under review (n) = 1.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Discount factor = (1 + r)<sup>-n</sup>
| |
| | |
| = 1.06<sup>-1</sup>
| |
| | |
| = 0.9434.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The greater the time delay, the smaller the Discount Factor.
| |
| | |
| | |
| <span style="color:#4B0082">'''Example 2: Increasing number of periods delay'''</span>
| |
| | |
| Periodic yield or cost of capital = 6%.
| |
| | |
| The number of periods delay increases to 2.
| |
| | |
| Discount factor = (1 + r)<sup>-n</sup>
| |
| | |
| = 1.06<sup>-2</sup>
| |
| | |
| = 0.8890.

| |
| | |
| Historically, the yield or cost of capital used for the purpose of calculating Discount Factors, as defined above.
| |
| | |
| For example the 6% rate applied in definition 1. above.
