VALUATION
Learning outcomes
1) compute the present value and future value for multiple cash
flows, the present value of an ordinary annuity and perpetuity,
and effective annual interest rate;
2) discuss their application in business.
Why should we find the Present Value of
future cash flows?
• Since we can not compare or add/subtract cash flows at
different point in time together we need to convert cash flow
to a common point in time.
• Financial decisions are made in the present time.
• Your investment is being made in the present, but the cash
flows you get back will be in the future. Because of the time
value of money, future cash flows are not comparable with a
present cash flow (i.e. your investment). To make them
comparable, the present value of the future cash flows has to
be found

PROJECT APPRAISAL WITH MULTIPLE CASH FLOWS
Suppose you invest £950 today and are repaid:
Year0_______Year 1_________Year 2_________Year 3
-950 300 400 500
The time value of money is accounted for by discounting
the future cash inflows at your opportunity cost (10%) to
determine the Present Value (PV) of the cash inflows:

IV Growing Annuity
Business may need to compute value of multiyear product or
service contracts with cash flows that increase each year at a
constant rate.
These are called growing annuities.
Example of growing annuity: valuation of growing business
whose cash flows increase every year at a constant rate.
Use this equation to value the present value of growing
annuity (equation 6.5) when the growth rate is less than
discount rate.
CF1 1 g

PVA n 1 (6.5)
i - g 1 i

V. Growing Perpetuity
When cash flow stream features constant growing
annuity forever.
Can be derived from equation 6.5 when n tends to
infinity and results in the following equation:

PVA = (6.6)

Discounted Cashflow Valuation:
Basis for Approach
t = n CF
Value = t
(1 + r)t
t =1
– where,
– n = Life of the asset
– CFt = Cashflow in period t
– r = Discount rate reflecting the riskiness of the estimated cashflows
Effective Annual Interest Rate
Interest rates can be quoted in financial
markets in variety of ways.
Most common quote, especially for a loan,
is annual percentage rate (APR).
APR represents simple interest accrued on
loan or investment in a single period;
annualised over a year by multiplying it by
appropriate number of periods in a year
