The Concept of Present Value Discounting
Present value discounting is based on the core financial principle that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future. This is because money in hand can earn compound interest, and inflation erodes future purchasing power.
How Discounting Works
To discount a future sum back to the present, we divide it by the compound rate factor:
Where FV is the future value, r is the discount rate, and n is the compounding periods.
Infinite Cash Flows (Perpetuities)
For investments that have no maturity date, such as perpetuity trusts, we compute their capitalized value by dividing the periodic payment by the periodic discount rate:
If the payments grow at a constant rate $g$, we employ the Gordon Growth Model: $PV = PMT / (r - g)$.
