Present Value:


Present Value of Money
Present value is the current value of an amount in the future. If we talk about economics, present value, is referred to as present discounted value and in finance it is called cash flow, is a future amount of money that is discounted to reproduce its present value, as if it lived today. The present discount value is always fewer than or equivalent to the future value since money has interest-earning potential, a feature refers to as the time value of money.

The present value of a future amount of money or present discounted value or cash flow is given as particular rate of return. Future present values are discounted at the interest rate, and the superior the interest rate, the inferior the present value of the future cash flows. Finding the suitable discount rate is the core to appropriately valuing future cash flows, whether they be earning or duty.

Present Value also referred to as "discounted value"

The formula for calculating the present value or cash flow is:

PV = CF/(1+r)n

OR

CF = PV(1+r)n

Where CF is the future value of money that is discounted, and n is the number of periods in which the current date and the date where the amount is charge, i is the discounted rate for a time period (when the interest is applied considered as the time period, for example, annually, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily). The interest rate i, is provided as a percentage, but explicit as a decimal value in this formula.

Explanation:


Some time we quite embarrassed, but it is simple like abc. Assume that you received $2000 now is worth but  it will have more than $2000 after ten years, because if you get the money now, you can invest it and obtain an extra amount of money over the ten years.

For example, let’s assume that, if the present value of $1000 is used or got and the interest rate is 10 percent, then one year from now is $1000 divided by 1.10, which is about $909.

Model of Consumer Behavior

Model of Consumer Behavior Consumers make many buying decisions every day. Most large companies research consumer buying decisions in great detail to answer questions about what consumers buy, where the buy, how and how much they buy, when they buy, and why they buy. Marketers can study actual consumer purchases to find out what they buy, where, and how much. But learning about the whys of consumer buying behavior is not so easy- the answers are often locked deep within the consumer’s mind. “For companies with billions of dollars on the line, the buying decision is the most crucial part of their enterprise,” states one consumer behavior analyst. “yet no one really knows how the human brain makes that choice.” Often, consumers themselves don’t know exactly what influences their purchases. “Buying decisions are made at an unconscious level.” Says the analyst, “and … consumers don’t generally give very reliable answers if you simply ask them, ‘Why did you buy this?”
