Estimated current value of a future amount to be received or paid out, discounted (see discounting) at an appropriate rate, usually at the cost of capital rate (the current market interest rate). PV provides a common basis for comparing investment alternatives. Also called present worth.
Right answer Add by Mr. Vinod & Mr. Alex <<<<<
Simply :- PV = CF/(1+r)n
It means how much money worth today
In economics, present value, also known as present discounted value, is the value of an expected income stream determined as of the date of valuation.
The current worth of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return. Future cash flows are discounted at the discount rate, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of the future cash flows. Determining the appropriate discount rate is the key to properly valuing future cash flows, whether they be earnings or obligations.
Also referred to as "discounted value".
