How to Create a Discounted Cash Flow - DCF

The video tutorial explains the concept of discounted cash flow (DCF) and its importance in financial modeling. It guides viewers through setting up an Excel spreadsheet to calculate DCF, incorporating interest and inflation rates, and understanding the real interest rate. The tutorial also covers creating a discounted cash flow table, calculating net present value (NPV), and determining the internal rate of return (IRR). The video concludes with practical applications of DCF in project management.
