discounting rate for calculating present value

This query is : Resolved 

26 January 2010 the future cash flows are discounted to the present value using the required rate of return.
which rate of return should be taken for this purpose, before tax or after tax?

thanks

26 January 2010 Anshu i would like to restate ur question u already mentioned that it required ur req rate of return.... U hv to take at least risk free return nd depends upon ur investment or industry specific that what u can earn if u deploy funds elsewhere

27 January 2010 required rate of return shall be equal to cost of capital.

cost of capital is considered after tax.

So the rate of return shall be taken after tax for computing the Present value of cash flow after tax.

my query has resolved by it-self.

27 January 2010 very good anshu. I agree with u.
