Answers- In some questions, they take the value for the CY like 2005 and then multiply with 6%. In some questions the add the full cash inflow and then multiply woth present value. I don't understand, why is that. Thanks

Hi, The value in use is the present value of the future cash flow. To get the present value we multiply the cash flow by the discount factor, which here would be using the one at 6%. To answer the question fully then I'd need to see more of it as I don't know what date we are calculating the value in use at. Thanks,
