No, the face value of an investment is not the same as its future value. The face value is the initial value of the investment, while the future value is the value it will have at a later date after earning interest or experiencing changes in market value.

How can bonds issued by two companies paying same contractual interest rate be issued at different prices?

To calculate present value of the bond you also need to know market interest rate. If , for example these companies were issuing their bonds in the different time and market interest rate was different then bond could be sold at premium(the bond will cost more then its face value), par (same as face value), and discount (bond will cost less then face value.)

What is usually a better investment- a coupon bond or discount bond?

Coupon bond= pay $A now. receive future periodic coupon and at maturity receive face value Discount bond= pay $B now. receive nothing until maturity where you receive face value. B is always less than A. That is, you pay less upfront investing in Discount Bond compared to Coupon Bond. But, you don't receive periodic cash flow by investing in Discount Bond. So clearly which is better depends on how much money you have at present and your expectation of future interest rate (going up or down). If you expect interest rate/yield to go down in the future, then clearly you don't want to be sitting on a pile of money and earn meager interest on it. This is called re-investment risk. You risk having unfavorable interest rate to re-invest the cash flow (coupon) you'll get in future. In this case, locking in the current interest rate/yield by buying discount bond is preferable. The same logic apply if you expect interest rate/yield is going to rise, in which case buying a coupon bond is preferable since you can re-invest the cash flow (coupon) you'll get in future at a higher rate. You can't do so with Discount Bond coz you receive no payment and the interest/yield is locked.

How does inflation affect investment?

The inflation affects the investment indirectly when read with the return. Example if an investment provides a return of 6%, and the inflation during the same period is 5%, the investment in real terms increases only by 1% and not by 6%, as inflation eats away returns to the tune of 5%.

What is the difference between compounding and discounting?

Compounding finds the future value of a present value using a compound interest rate. Discounting finds the present value of some future value, using a discount rate. They are inverse relationships. This is perhaps best illustrated by demonstrating that a present value of some future sum is the amount which, if compounded using the same interest rate and time period, results in a future value of the very same amount.

The place value of a digit is its face value multiplied by its place column value (1, 10, 100, etc).
