Thats why. August 17, 2016 at 3:02 pm #333777 John MoffatKeymasterTopics: 57Replies: 54655☆☆☆☆☆That is correct.The discount factor for a flow at time 0 is 1, and the factor for flows from 1 to 14 is the 14 year annuity factor (9.295).So for flows 0 – 14, the total factor is 1 + 9.295AuthorPostsViewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
