3 A dollar today is worth more than a dollar to be received in the future because?
there are two reasons.
1. A dollar today can earn interest so you will have more than a dollar in the future.
2. Inflation will reduce the purchasing power a dollar over time, so it's better to get the dollar today and spend it today because it won't buy as much stuff tomorrow.

Does inflation have anything to do with making a dollar today?
If I understand your question correctly, when dealing with inflation, a dollar earned today is worth more than a dollar earned at any time in the future. This has to do with the concept of the present value of money. Because inflation devalues the dollar over time, a dollar earned today is worth more than say, a dollar earned five years from now.
Dollar paid in the future is less valuable than a dollar paid today?

Would a dollar tomorrow be worth more to you today when the interest rate is 20 percent or 10 percent?
A dollar tomorrow would be worth more to you today when the interest rate is 10 percent compared to 20 percent. This is because a lower interest rate results in a smaller discounting effect, making the present value of that future dollar higher. At 10 percent, the future value is discounted less, meaning it retains more of its worth in today's terms. Conversely, at 20 percent, the dollar's present value decreases more significantly, making it less valuable today.
