pub struct PresentValue {
    pub cash_flow: f64,
    pub discount_rate: f64,
    pub time_periods: f64,
}
Expand description

The discounted value of a single cash flow received in the future

Example

use com_croftsoft_core::math::finance_lib::PresentValue;
assert_eq!(
  PresentValue {
    cash_flow:     1.0,  // A dollar in the future
    discount_rate: 0.10, // With inflation at 10% per year
    time_periods:  1.0,  // Received one year from now
  }.calculate(),
  0.9090909090909091);   // Will have the spending power of ~$0.91 today
assert_eq!(
  PresentValue {
    cash_flow:     1.0,  // A dollar in the future
    discount_rate: 0.10, // If it could be invested today at 10% per year
    time_periods:  2.0,  // Received two years from now
  }.calculate(),
  0.8264462809917354);   // Would be worth the same as ~$0.83 invested today

Fields

cash_flow: f64discount_rate: f64

The discount rate or inflation rate per time period (use 0.01 for 1%)

time_periods: f64
