What is discounted cash flow in simple terms?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) is a method used to estimate the value of an investment or business by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows. It answers the question: \\\"How much are future profits worth today?\\\"<\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"2. Is DCF the same as NPV?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Not exactly. Net Present Value (NPV) is the outcome of a DCF calculation. DCF is the process, while NPV is the result after subtracting the initial investment.<\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"3. How do you calculate the DCF?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>The formula is:<br \/>DCF = CF\u2081 \/ (1+r)\u00b9 + CF\u2082 \/ (1+r)\u00b2 + \u2026 + CF\u2099 \/ (1+r)\u207f<\/p><p>Where CF = Cash Flow, r = Discount Rate (often WACC), and n = time period.<\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"4. What is the significance of DCF?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>DCF is widely used in corporate finance, equity research, and investment banking because it values a company or asset based on fundamentals rather than market sentiment.<\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"5. What is the biggest drawback of the DCF?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Its accuracy depends heavily on assumptions: future cash flow projections, discount rates, and terminal value.

Is discounted cash flow the same as IRR?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>No. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the discount rate that makes the NPV of all future cash flows equal to zero. DCF uses a chosen discount rate to compute present value.<\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"7. Why is DCF not used for banks?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Banks are highly regulated, rely on deposits rather than free cash flow, and their capital structures make it difficult to apply traditional DCF. Instead, analysts use Price-to-Book or Dividend Discount Models.<\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"8.
