Step 1
Present value is the current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows, discounted at an appropriate rate of return. It is the amount of money that would need to be invested today, at a certain interest rate, to yield a future sum of money or cash flows. The concept of present value is used in various financial calculations, including calculating the value of an investment, determining the price of a bond or a stock, and evaluating the profitability of a project.
