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.
the net present value as determined by normal discount rate is 10%
In valuing a firm with no cash dividend, one approach is to assume that at some point in the future a cash dividend will be paid. You can then take the present value of future cash dividends. A second approach is to take the present value of future earnings as well as a future anticipated stock price. The discount rate applied to future earnings is generally higher than the discount rate applied to future dividends.
yes they are the same
No, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is not the same as the discount rate. The IRR is a metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment, while the discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows to their present value.
The net present value (NPV) of a stock is calculated by discounting its future value back to the present using a specific discount rate. To find the NPV of a stock valued at Rs. 54,880 after 3 years, you would need to know the discount rate. Without that information, the NPV cannot be accurately determined. If you provide a discount rate, I can help you calculate the NPV.
the present value of the inflows
As the compounding rate decreases, the future value of inflows approaches the present value of those inflows. This occurs because lower compounding rates result in less growth over time, diminishing the effect of interest accumulation. Ultimately, if the compounding rate were to approach zero, the future value would converge to the total sum of the initial inflows without any interest or growth.
An increase in the discount rate would decrease the value of future cash flows in the Net Present Value (NPV) calculation, making future cash flows worth less in today's terms. This would lower the overall NPV of a project since the present value of future cash inflows is reduced more than the initial investment.

A comet becomes brighter as it approaches the sun. It's at that time that the heat from the sun begins to boil the ice present in the comet, and its tail becomes visible as it moves, leaving a trail behind it that scatters light, making it appear brighter.
the net present value as determined by normal discount rate is 10%
To increase a given present value, you would generally lower the discount rate. This is because a lower discount rate reduces the impact of future cash flows, making the present value higher. Conversely, increasing the discount rate would decrease the present value.
You can use the PV function or the NPV function. Present Value is the result of discounting future amounts to the present. Net Present Value is the present value of the cash inflows minus the present value of the cash outflows.
What is the present value of 500 to be recieved 10 yrs from today if it is discount at the rate of 6 percent?
In valuing a firm with no cash dividend, one approach is to assume that at some point in the future a cash dividend will be paid. You can then take the present value of future cash dividends. A second approach is to take the present value of future earnings as well as a future anticipated stock price. The discount rate applied to future earnings is generally higher than the discount rate applied to future dividends.
yes they are the same
Discount factor is the factor determining future cash flow, but multiplying the cash flow to obtain present value. Discount rate is used in calculations to equal the cost of capital.
