Preferred term

discounting  

Definition

  • Discounting is a method used to adjust the monetary values of economic goods from different time periods to a standard basis for comparison. It involves converting the value of cash flows occurring at different time periods to a base year value, generally the year in which the analysis is being conducted (i.e., present value).
