A perpetuity is defined as a security (e.g., bond) with no fixed maturity date, and the formula for calculating thepresent value(PV) is the cash flow value divided by the discount rate (i.e., the expected rate of return based on the risks associated with receiving the cash flows). F...

Illustration of the DCF Formula Below is an illustration of how the discounted cash flow DCF formula works. As you will see, the present value of equal cash flow payments is being reduced over time, as the effect of discounting impacts the cash flows. Image: CFI’s freeIntro to Corporate ...
The formula involves projecting future cash flows over the life of the company or asset and discounting them back to their present value using a discount rate. The DCF formula can be applied to value both Free Cash Flow to the Firm (FCFF) and Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE). DCF analysi...
Formula: NPV = ∑ {[(Future cash flow)n / (1+r)n]– Initial Investment} 2. Internal Rate of Return (IRR): The discount rate at which NPV becomes zero is the IRR. This annual rate lets us compare the initial investment with the future cash flow’s present value. If this rate is...
The Gordon Growth Model formula is: Terminal Value = FCF * (1+g)(r-g) Where: FCF is the free cash flow in the final projected time period g is the perpetual growth rate of cash flows (therate of inflationorgrowth rate of GDPare most commonly used) ...
DCF Model Basics: Present Value Formula The DCF approach requires that we forecast a company’s futurecashflows and discount them to the present to arrive at apresent valuefor the company. That present value is the amount investors should be willing to pay (the company’s value). We can ex...
