Why do bond prices and yields vary inversely?
Bonds are valued by discounting the coupon payments and the final repayment by the yield to maturity on comparable bonds. The bond payments discounted at the bond’s yield to maturity equal the bond price. You may also start with the bond price and ask what interest rate the bond offers. This interest rate that equates the present value of bond payments to the bond price is the yield to maturity. Because present values are lower when discount rates are higher, price and yield to maturity vary inversely.
As the discount rate becomes higher and higher the present value of inflows approaches what?
As, the present value of future cash flows is determined by the discount rate, so increase or decrease in the discount rate will affect the present value. Discount rate is simply cost or the expense to the company,so in simplest terms, discount rate goes up, cost goes up,so this will lower the present value of cash flows. Assumes a discount rate of 5%,to discount $100 in one years time: Present Value=$100 * 1/(1.05) =$95.24 Ok,as you say,if the discount rate becomes higher,let's say 8%: Present Value=$100 * 1/(1.08) =$92.6 so, the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value.

As the discount rate increases without limit the present value of a future cash flow?
Decreases.... The formula is PV = $1 / (1 + r)t PV = Present Value r = discount rate Because 1/r continues to get smaller as r increases, thus resulting in an exponentially smaller Present Value.

What is present value analysis?
Present value analysis is a financial technique used to evaluate the value of future cash flows by discounting them back to their current value.

Which is preferable a loan with a lower present value or a loan with a lower periodic installment and why?
The answer is it depends. Assuming that the way that you get the present value of the loan is by applying a discount rate to the payment stream to both loans, the obvious answer would be that the desirable one is the one with the lowest present value. However, things are not so simple. You also have to take into consideration the impact on your cash flow. The following thoughts will give you an idea of where I am coming from. - By paying a lower payment, you will have extra cash available to invest. - What kind of return can you make on this extra cash? - This is the main reason why borrowers want longer maturities.
