Year | Cash flow | Discount factor | Present value of cash flow | ||||||
a | b | c=1.14^-a | d=b*c | ||||||
1 | $ -8 | 0.877193 | $ -7.02 | ||||||
2 | $ 11 | 0.769468 | $ 8.46 | ||||||
3 | $ 18 | 0.674972 | $ 12.15 | ||||||
Total | $ 13.60 | ||||||||
Present value of cash flow after year 3 | = | CF3*(1+g)/(Ke-g)*DF3 | Where, | ||||||
= | $ 160.98 | CF3 | Cash flow of year 3 | $ 18 | |||||
g | Growth in cash flow | 6% | |||||||
Ke | Discount rate | 14% | |||||||
DF3 | Discount factor of year 3 | 0.674972 | |||||||
