This extension will come in handy for investors in evaluating investment opportunities. Using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method, this extension calculates an investment's fair valuation.
It helps to understand the value of the investment for an investor, based on the expected future cash flow.
As a result, the value of the investment is adjusted for the time value of money.
The reason for choosing the discounted cash flow method is that it takes into account the time value of money.
