The interest rate allows individuals to put a current value on future revenues & costs. The Discounting procedure can be used to calculate the present value of an expected net income stream from potential investment projects. If the present value of the expected revenues exceeds the present value of the expected cost - & if things turn out as anticipated - The projects will be profitable.

Present Value (PV)

The current worth of future income after it's discounted to reflect the fact that revenues in the future are valued less highly than revenues now PV = Receipt 1 Year from Now / 1 + Interest Rate

The procedure used to calculate the present value of future income, which is inversely related to both the interest rate & the amount of time that passed before the funds are received. EX: If the Interest Rate is 10%, then the present value of $100 received 1 year from now would be only $90.91 ($100 divided by 1,10). The present value of $100 received in 2 years from now is: PV = 100 / (1 + Interest Rate) ^ 2 = 89
