Answer #1

When the discount rate decreases, the present value of cash flow increases, so it becomes more appealing

If the discount rate remains constant it would make it neither less appealing nor more appealing

However, if the cash flows are extended over a longer period of time with the same amount of cash flows, then the present value will come down as the time value of money makes it less appealing

Answer is The cash flows are extended over a longer period of time, but the total amount of the cash flows remains the same.
