Why is the concept of present value important in GAAP and for valuation of liabilities?
Present value is the current value of a future sum of money at a specified rate of return. Future cash flows are discounted at the discount rate, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of the future cash flows. Present value considers the value after depreciation /amortization which is considered as the real value of the asset and the present value of liability considers the time value of money taking in to account the interest. If the liability is considered without the time value of money it will inherently prove to be wrong because as time progresses there is a factor of inflation and change running with it. This factor makes it very inevitable to consider the present value of liabilities.
