  1. DCF Analysis - Calculating the Discount Rate DCF analysis is one of the approaches which use the concept of the time value of money when valuing a project, company, asset, etc. Basically, all future expected cash flows are discounted by using the cost of capital to determine their present values. One of the key metrics used in discounted cash flow analysis or also known as the DCF Valuation is the discount rate. As time passes by, the value of money tends to change which is mostly decreasing, thus, its purchasing power of income at a period in the future should be worth less compared today’s value. Hence, it is very important to take into account the time value of money when conducting a valuation which pretty much depends mostly on the projection of cash flows in the future. In other words, calculating the discount rate is the interest rate used in DCF analysis to determine the present value of the future cash flows. It also stands as the interest rate charged to banks and other financial institutions.
