So if you can compute all the present values properly,
-
the only fair thing to do--
-
this is not a great investment.
-
Even if C (1) is a huge amount of money
-
it's only huge because pV_1 is a low amount of money.
-
Because it has to be that the profit every period, the rate of profit,
-
is exactly equal to the interest rate,
-
because everything is always priced at its present value.
-
So it's a simple concept
-
which somehow takes a long time to grasp.
-
It just seems to people that--here's the money that's come in.
-
That's the cash you can count in your hands.
