WHAT IS EXACTLY THE ANTONYM OF DISCOUNT?

Discounting is basically reverting the cash flow with a certain rate of interest so that it gives present value of the future cash flow.

[edit] Cash flows and utility

As written this article privileges cash flows over utility flows. However, cash flows are only an example of utility flows: in general, for firms, we assume that utility = profit. Any comments, or should I go ahead and change the article? Tobacman 02:20, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
