Assume a new investment project is expected to generate $1,000 and $1,000 in free cash flows for two years (2021 (first year) and 2022 (Second year)), respectively.

    (4) The the actual (or real) free cash flow (after inflation rate is considered)

    2021 (First Year) : $980.39

    2022 (Second Year) : $961.17

    (5) Present value of the investment (Investment year is 2020) is $1,735.54

    Explanation:

    Free cash flow in 2021: $1000

    Free cash flow in 2022: $1000

    WACC (discounting rate) : 10%

    (4) The the actual (or real) free cash flow (after inflation rate is considered) in 2021 (First Year) and 2022 (Second Year):

    FCF in 2021 after considering inflation = $1000 / (1+2%) = $980.39

    FCF in 2022 after considering inflation = $1000 / ((1+2%) ^2) = $961.17

    (5) Present value of the investment (Investment year is 2020)

    PV = Cash flow in year 1 / (1 + discounting rate) + Cash flow in year 2 / (1 + discounting rate) ^2

    = 1000 / (1+10%) + 1000 / ((1+10%) ^2)

    =1,735.54
