Discounted cash flow values a business as the present worth of all its future cash. Distant cash is worth less because of the discount rate, and a terminal value captures everything beyond the forecast horizon. Educational tool, not financial advice.

PV of forecast$905

Terminal value (PV)$1225

Total valuation$2130

Governing equation

V = t = 1 \sum 10 \frac{F C F _{t}}{( 1 + r ) ^{t}} + \frac{T V}{( 1 + r ) ^{10}}, r = 0.10, T V = $1225

Reading this result: A 2.0-point gap between discount and growth shrinks each later year of present value; the terminal still accounts for 57% of the total.
