The video is well presented, however, I believe there's a mistake in the Formula you used to calculate the Discount Factor, It should be: (1+i)^-n, where i represents the discount rate and n the number of years. the negative sign is for the the number of years. It can also be defined as 1/(1+discount rate)^n.
Hello. Thanks for the video. I'm still unsure which discount rate I should take. The two rates that matters to me are financing rate and fixed deposit rate Do I apply discount rate as the financing rate or a fixed deposit rate? Which one would make more sense?
Same, like how do we know the interest rate to be used to find discount factors?, at first i thought it would be same as the interest rates given to you as a reward on your inv 😂
Hi Deeksha, from personal experience, most managers at companies have a rule of thumb that they use as a discount rate, rather than computing the actual number. Bigger companies will computer their IRR (internal rate of return) and base their discount rate on that value. Go and check out our IRR video to understand how that is calculated. Thanks
There is a typo in your slide at - ruclips.net/video/cUuWmC9xUtc/видео.html It should show (1-0.1)^1, (1-0.1)^2, ..., (1-0.1)^7 The exponent should be outside of the base's brackets
Yes, that’s actually a mistake that we cut after publishing the video. We made another comment about that previously, but you are correct, the power should be outside of the parentheses
The answer to the question wouldn’t it just be what ever the cost of capital is for the company so if it’s 5% discount factor is 1.05 and if 2% it’s 1.02???
Thanks for the comment. No, you would subtract the rate from 1, not add it, but yes it does appear that the exponent should be on the outside of the parentheses.
Can someone please tell me where the number 1 comes from in the discount rate? and what does it mean. Why we divided and why we add to discount rate? You have no idea how grateful I will be for the answer, Thank you IN advance.
This explanation... is wrong. This "works" only if youre an investment bank, connected with intrabank market of capital or you "compare" two investment projects, and values calculated apply to these projects, and projects have some specific similarities, and you will not use the values outside the comparison (because these values are erranious and have no sence by themselves). the question of discounting is VERY tricky to understand. The "books" today explain it wrong way most of the time. Ah, there is no "time value of money", there are specific monetary regimes where mone do NOT lose value, but gain (deflation, cough), and we have market power of monopoly to inflate prices faster then the outer inflation... WACC is NOT the right discounting rate for the project, its the rate borrower. Only annuity type of flows can be discounted with "simple formula" without distortion The result of the discounting formula is the amount of capital to be invested... etc. etc.
God bless you queen of answers. Been reading for 30 minutes explanations of this and you explained in 3 mins. THANKS
Great explanation guys, and in under 3 minutes! Thank you!

Thank you for also noticing that.
Isn't she using a discount rate, if she is, then her formula is correct, (1-d)^n
She is calculated each year so n will be 1 so no impact of 1..so she only showed 1+discounted rate
great video. the concept is much clearer now

Amazing video! Very illustrative and really did help me to understand what discount rate meant
Thanks Rafi, glad you enjoyed it!

i really appreciate your work ,
Thank you!
I actually went to this video for the answer to the same question at the end of your video haha so i had no answer :(
Same, like how do we know the interest rate to be used to find discount factors?, at first i thought it would be same as the interest rates given to you as a reward on your inv 😂
actually this question you have put in the end is what i'm searching for the answer for it, so how can i find the answer please
Companies typically look at what their investments have returned historically to establish a baseline of what they should expect their money to make.
Does that answer your question?
What is the appropriate discount rate for new investment project for large plc?
Amazing !! Thankyou for making it so easy to understand,
Could you Please answer - How the Companies select the Discount rate?

@@financestrategists4468sometime i still confuse that discount rate similar with interest rate
There is a typo in your slide at - ruclips.net/video/cUuWmC9xUtc/видео.html
It should show (1-0.1)^1, (1-0.1)^2, ..., (1-0.1)^7
The exponent should be outside of the base's brackets
So, what is use of discount rate publicized by one county's central bank?
How can find discounting factor for new project
For the discount rate examples section shouldn't year 2 be 6000 x (1-0.1)^2 and so on?
Yes, that’s actually a mistake that we cut after publishing the video.
We made another comment about that previously, but you are correct, the power should be outside of the parentheses
Wonderful. Thanks!
@financestrategists Does it mean, Discount Rate is Inflation rate?
The answer to the question wouldn’t it just be what ever the cost of capital is for the company so if it’s 5% discount factor is 1.05 and if 2% it’s 1.02???
This channel is so helpful for Uni, will recommend it to everyone! Thank you!!

@@financestrategists4468 Banking and Finance!
Are discount rate and depreciation rate the same?
Thank you very much!
Beware. Discount is not properly calculated in table.
pls Help me with this : When to use the equivalent interest rate as the discount rate?
Is that intrinsic value
Nice video. Should the discount factor be 1/(1+r) instead of 1-r? and also the power should be outside of the bracket.
Thanks for the comment. No, you would subtract the rate from 1, not add it, but yes it does appear that the exponent should be on the outside of the parentheses.
@@financestrategists4468 I believe you need to add it. Just checked online and every formula says to add the discount rate to the 1
Can someone please tell me where the number 1 comes from in the discount rate? and what does it mean.
Why we divided and why we add to discount rate?
You have no idea how grateful I will be for the answer, Thank you IN advance.
@@TheSilliestGooses Thanks. I always like different way of explanation. :)
I just found your channel. So disappointed to see your last video is from 2 years ago ☹
you just use more financial terms to explain financial terms, how is someone supposed to understand from this?
The calculation is not accurate. NPV should be -$1,131.58.

The formula is completely wrong. It’s better to delete this video…
