Stochastic Method of Discounted Cash Flows by A. A. Solodov

“…The proposed approach allowed us to develop a stochastic model of the company’s revenues, generalize the method of discounted cash flows, obtain a number of simple ratios, and on this basis explain the growth of the method forecast error with an increase in the duration of the forecast horizon.New results of the study are the use of stochastic methods to describe business revenues and expressions obtained on this basis for the variance and standard deviation of the company’s net cash flow, depending on the number of forecasting periods. …”
