Frequently Asked Questions
Why is money today worth more than tomorrow?
Because of its earning capacity. Money in your hand today can be invested to earn interest, so it will grow to a larger amount in the future. Money received in the future cannot be invested today.
What discount rate should I use?
The discount rate (interest rate) should reflect the rate of return you could earn on an alternative investment of similar risk. Often, investors use the stock market average (~8-10%) or the current risk-free rate.
