| Shaan23 | nice...thought more people would've got this wrong...good job guys |
| Shishishi | explain? :( |
| floydtrend | PV of $P since it will be recvd one yr in future not equal to $P, hence, E is correct |
| engr2012 | Can someone explain this? |
| choas69 | using the formula PV= CF/r to to discount future cash flows to determine the value of what ever it is. draw a two time lines for both A and B time line for B will start sooner by a year. Hence, after discounting the future cash flows its only natural that the one year gap in starting will lead to B having more value because it will bring cash sooner. |
