Suppose you work for a software company that has developed a new product.  The patent on this product will last for seventeen years. You expect that the product will produce cash-flows of $10,000,000 in its 1st year and that this amount will grow at a rate of 4 percent per year for the next seventeen years. Once the patent expires, your competitors will be able to produce equivalents copies of your software and drive any future profits to zero. If the interest rate is 11 percent per year, then what is the present value of producing this software?

Present Value

Present value (PV) is defined as the current or present value of all future sums of cash flow or money at a specified rate of return. This rate of return is known as the discounted rate, which is essentially the interest rate, discounted over some time. The expected cash flows are discounted at a discount rate to compute the present value. The higher the discount rate, the higher the future value (FV), but the lower the present value.
