Dear Sir,
I am a bit confused about the timing of cash flow DCF, please correct me if I am wrong.
There is a question on BPP exam kit saying:
what is the NPV of lump sum of $910,000 take in a year time at the cost of capital of 10%?
I use the discount factor of the year 1 ( which is was 0.909 whereas the book answer discount at the rate of year 2 0.826)
Could you please explain why?
Is it not the same rule that we apply to the annuity question like: 90,000 receive a 5 year annuity starting in 3 year’s time where we start counting from year 3.
You might have it explained in the lecture. I watch the lecture and I though it was clear to me, but this question it confused me.
Really appreciate your help
Thanks
Gabriella

(It is nothing to do with annuities the way you have copied it – annuities are when there is an equal cash flow each year)

Thanks a lot for your time. I checked again the question and I realized where I went wrong.
Sorry for thatGabriella
