Investment Decisions
Under Inflation
First, the discount rate used for discounting cash flows is generally
expressed in nominal terms. It would be inappropriate and inconsistent to
use a nominal rate to discount constant cash flows.
Second, selling prices and costs show different degrees of responsiveness
to inflation
The depreciation tax shield remains unaffected by inflation since
depreciation is allowed on the book value of an asset, irrespective of its
replacement or market price, for tax purposes.

either the cash flows should be converted into nominal terms and then
discounted at the nominal required rate of return, or
the discount rate should be converted into real terms and used to discount the
real cash flows
