How to Find Discounted Cash Flow

To find discounted cash flow is necessary for taking better investment decisions. Discounted cash flow can tells us what is value of future cash flows at present time. Through discount rate, we can find present value of total cash outflow and present value of total cash inflows. If present cash inflow value is more than present cash outflow value, we can take the decision to invest our cash in that asset.

Now, we come to the steps of finding discounted cash flow :


1st Step : To Calculate the Discount Rate 


For finding discounted cash flow, we need to calculate discount rate. Discount rate is calculated on the basis of interest on risk free investment and rate on average risk in investment. For example, if we invest our cash in Govt. FD, we get 4% interest. It means, today invests Rs. 100 value is more than after one year investing of Rs. 100 due to time value of money. But in discount rate, we will take risk free rate + rate for taking risk. It means, if FD's interest rate is 4%, then normal discount rate will be for other time of investment 5 % to 10%.



2nd Step : To Calculate the Discounted Cash Flow


By using the formula of discounted cash flow after calculating the discount rate, we can find discounted cash flow.

Formula of Calculating Discounted Cash Flow


= cash flow in future period/(1 + Discount rate)^Time Period


For example, you want to present value of your investment (Cash outflow) of RS. 100,000 which you have invested in 10 years. Discount rate is 5%


Present value of this cash flow will be


= 1,00,000 / (1 + 5/100)^10 = RS. 45248.86. It means, if we invest only Rs. 45248.86 present time, it is equal to invest Rs. 1,00,000 after 10 years.

1st : To Make Accounting Learning Environment

When you go to park what you feel, you feel more relax and more pure oxygen because park's environment has been made by planting lots of trees.

My brother always fear when I drive the car because I will drive wrong. He is my brother. But he is not my teacher. Teacher will teach. He will give problem and give freedom to solve this challenge. Only then, his students will become expert. I also teach to drive to my brother. But after giving instruction, I give freedom to drive in blank space. Now, I am so careful to check his performance. Like this, you should also give accounting problems to your students. If any student will do best, give him reward. It will give motivation to them to grow in accounting.

How to Become an Inspirational Teacher

To become an inspirational teacher will be your great success in your teaching career. For becoming an inspirational teacher, you have to show your talent and skills to students. You have to change the lives of your students with your motivation and positive thinking. Only, then you will become inspirational or motivational teacher in the heart of your student.


1. Start from Yourself 

If you want to become an inspirational teacher, you have to start from yourself. First, you have to change yourself and only then you can inspire other. When you will inspire other, other will say to you a source of inspirational. In teaching line, you will surely be an inspirational teacher. Following things matter to inspire yourself.

a) Self-Analysis 

Every night before sleeping, start self-analysis, it is great system of self-help and self-inspiration. Ask, yourself, are you teaching good way to your students? Has any bad thing happened in the classroom? Are you responsible for speaking too bad words to students? Has any negative thinking come in your mind? One by one, remember whole day for self-analysis. Stop any bad thing before becoming your bad habit.

b) Try to Teach Yourself Before Teaching Student 

Every teacher should teach himself before teaching student. For example, you have to teach not to eat white sugar because it is harmful for health. Did you understand it? Did you apply it on you? Did you get its better result. If you learned, you can teach better to your student.

c) Add Value from Other Teachers

If you open your eyes as student for learning from other great teachers, we can add value in our teaching from other teachers. It will make your perfect. But, if you understand yourself as great teacher due to self-ego, you can never add value in your teaching. For becoming an inspirational teacher, you should start from yourself by learning and adding value from other teachers.


2. Never Use Anger and Physical Punishment As Teaching Weapons

Do you think, by using anger on students and giving them physical punishment, you have become a great teacher? No my dear, no, by doing this, you are fixing your seat as dictator. An inspirational teacher never use anger and physical punishment as teaching weapons. If you do same, follow first step. Control your mind and physical body. Today, your students will become also teacher, doctors, engineers, accountants and businessmen, all will spread violence in the society because you have bear a plant of anger and hate in their mind. Instead of bearing this plant, you can bear the plant of love and happiness by teaching with smile.

I am telling true story of my life. I was teacher in small village school. I had given home work for remembering something. No student remembered. I was so angry, I punished each student by hitting stick on their hands for 10 times. All students were crying and I was smiling. In the night, God came to me. There was a big stick in his hand. He showed my sins in this life and in my past births. I was saying sorry for this. I was saying, please do not punish to me. God was saying, when you do not pardon small students in the classroom, how can I pardon to you? In  teaching, there is no need to give order to remember anything. Best teaching will automatically increase the memory of students. Your students came to you because their parents taught them the way from home to school. They came automatically. So, you are failure as teacher and for revenge your failure, you were punishing. I understood everything from God. Anger and punishing is not good teaching policy. Next day, I had given the stick to students and ordered, any student who did not remember the answer of my given questions hit me the stick 10 times. All students felt sham by doing this. Within 10 minutes, same students remembered answers of all my given questions. I was seeing so different in these students because I left my bad habit of teaching with anger and punishment. I started to use my heart's love in my teaching and finally, I became an inspirational teacher in same village's school.


3. Teach with Positivity

  When you go to classroom, be positive. You may come from different environment. It may be possible, you come by fighting with your wife or parent. So, your mind will be full of negative thinking against them. Same flow may be on students. Your attitude should never be negative with students. Every any student did any mistake. Never see it in negative angle. Try to see, how can change same energy of student in good area where student can grow. For example, a student who is expert in creating different voice and disturb classroom, instead stopping his great skill, give him reward to show it in the classroom and carry him in big exhibition. With this, he can become great artist. You listened the voice of Tom Thumb on TED youtube channel who can play any music with his mouth. So, we solute to his great teacher who made his career by using his creativity positive way.


4. Improve Your Teaching Language 


If you improve your teaching language, you can easily affect each student of your classroom. Your student can easily understand, what you want to teach. Following tips will be helpful.

a) Start your teaching from Why? For example, you want to teach, how to pass journal entries? This teaching should start from why should we pass the  journal entry? By doing this, your student will more interested in your teaching.

b) Instead of tongue, you should also learn to teach by using other parts of body. In part, you can include your face expression, hand, eye contact and better use of each mescal of your body.

c) You need to improve your communication with students. You should give the love and respect to student. If your student do not like your communication, how can learn from you? So, you should change your communication and it must be liked by students.
