Business Forecasting
Discounted cash flow (DCF) is a financial valuation method used to estimate the value of an investment based on its expected future cash flows, adjusted for the time value of money. This approach acknowledges that a dollar received today is worth more than a dollar received in the future due to its potential earning capacity. By discounting future cash flows back to their present value, DCF helps in making informed capital expenditure forecasting decisions.
