a cash flow of $100 years in 5 years is always worth more than $99 in 4 years. true or false?
FALSE
If the interest rate per year is more than 1.1%, then the cash flow of $100 in 5 years will be less than $99 in 4 years
Example: Let's say interest rate is 2% per year
CF4 = CF5/(1 + r)
CF4 = 100/(1 + 0.02)
CF4 = $98.0392156863
This is less than $99. So, the statement is FALSE
