Discussion Board 5

For this week’s discussion I would like you to research the topic of "terminal values" of cash flows used in discounted cash flow analysis and business valuations.  (Note: you will see this topic in more detail in the on-line chapter 18 regarding business valuations and terminal value calculations are very commonly done in today's finance world)

Discuss the most common and current real life uses of terminal values in cash flow analysis, and the pros and cons of this calculation process.

Destyni,

Thank you for your engagement. The time earned value of money is an important topic and concept that I believe should be taught at much younger ages than mine. In your post, you touched on market risks. I want to elaborate a little on this because I find understanding market risk to be significant. Several things drive our economy, including job growth, consumer and business confidence, and interest rates, to name several. Risks come in several forms. There are stock market risks such as interest rates, stock prices, valuations, and margin debt, to name a few of these. Understanding these and the risks they pose is crucial in understanding market risk in general and the time earned value of money. Great post!

Kindly,

Jennifer L. Naegele
