Discount real cash flows at the real
rate and nominal cash flows at the
nominal rate
Be Consistent!
COMPLICATION: If there are different inflation rates for CFAT components (for
example, revenues or costs) and a single nominal WACC (as is the usual case), do a
nominal analysis inflating real cash flows (if necessary) at their respective inflation
