Discounted cash flow analysis
•Future cash flows

•Increases (decreases) in future cash flows increase (decrease) fair value

•Increases (decreases) in cash flows tend to be accompanied by increases (decreases) in discount rates that may offset changes in fair value from cash flows


•Timber / agricultural prices

•Increases (decreases) in price increase (decrease) fair value

•Increases (decreases) in price tend to be accompanied by increases (decreases) in discount rates that may offset changes in fair value from price

•Discount rate /terminal
capitalization rate

•Increases (decreases) in discount rate or terminal capitalization rate decrease (increase) fair value
•Decreases (increases) in discount rates or terminal capitalization rates tend to be accompanied by increases (decreases) in cash flows that may offset changes in fair value from rates
•Exit Date

•Increases (decreases) in exit date decrease (increase) fair value

•Increases (decreases) in the exit date tend to be the result of changing cash flow profiles that may result in higher (lower) growth in cash flows prior to stabilizing in the terminal year
