Simple Interest
Vt = V0+V0r t
1 Year Later
Bank pays out $108
Compound Interest
Vt = V0 (1 + r )t
Where:
Vt = value after t years
V0 = amount invested
r = annual rate of interest
Where:
Vt = value after t years
V0 = amount invested
r = annual rate of interest
Discounting
Lets turn the interest concept around!
Now
$92.5926 invested at 8%
1 Year Later
Bank pays out $100
$100 received after one year has a present value (PV) of $92.5926 at
a discount rate of 8%.
To obtain the PV of expected cash flows from a project, we have to
discount the cash received each year back to the present at a
discount rate (r) related to the corporate cost of capital.
1
Discount factor =
where n is the year in question.
(1 + r)n
Thus discounting can be thought of as compound interest in reverse!
Discounting Example
A business receives the following cash amounts during a five year
period. What is the present value (PV) of these amounts at a discount
rate (r) of 12%?

This cash flow table was shown in the topic on cash flows.
RCF = 93.8 million.
What is the net present value NPV of the real cash flows over the
field life cycle if a discount rate of 10% is chosen?
Observations on NPV
Measure of Profitability
Profitability Index (Pi) is the ratio of the discounted cash
flow plus the discounted investment value to the
discounted investment value.
Pi = [ (RCFt DFt) + (CIt DFt)]/ (CIt x DFt)
For RGC field, Pi = (7.5 + 127.3 + 82.6)/(127.3 + 82.6)
Pi = 1.036
A Pi > 1.0 will always result if the NPV > 0
Due to differences in cash flow timing, project rankings can
change if the discount rate is changed.
