To answer this question, ask yourself this question: would you rather have $100 today or $100 one year from today? How about $100 today or $105 one year from today? $100 today or $200 one year from today? If you ask questions like that to a group of people, you can estimate the average discount rate fairly effectively.
In the case of the individual, waiting for income delays the utility provided by the consumption of goods or services that income can provide, and most people would rather have consumption sooner, so they can derive utility for longer amounts of time.
In the case of the firm, there is a time value to money. At the very least, money can be invested in government T-bills, guaranteeing a rate of return. If two investments have the same guaranteed return, but one will have a return five years before the other, a firm would, ceteris paribus, prefer the faster-repaying investment, because they could invest the money in a T-bill for five years and be better off. (Or, more likely, make additional investments.)
The discounting principle in managerial economic is the opposite of compounding. It is based on the present value of a sum of money you are getting in the future, the discount rate and the frequency.
1. The interest rate that an eligible depository institution is charged to borrow short-term funds directly from a Federal Reserve Bank. Different types of loans are available from Federal Reserve Banks and each corresponding type of credit has its own discount rate. 2. The interest rate used in discounted cash flow analysis to determine the present value of future cash flows. The discount rate takes into account the time value of money (the idea that money available now is worth more than the same amount of money available in the future because it could be earning interest) and the risk or uncertainty of the anticipated future cash flows (which might be less than expected).
insurers set premiums based on the equivalence principle where they set the present value of future outgo to the present value of future benefits. the calculations allow for an implicit profit due to interest spreads.

As, the present value of future cash flows is determined by the discount rate, so increase or decrease in the discount rate will affect the present value. Discount rate is simply cost or the expense to the company,so in simplest terms, discount rate goes up, cost goes up,so this will lower the present value of cash flows. Assumes a discount rate of 5%,to discount $100 in one years time: Present Value=$100 * 1/(1.05) =$95.24 Ok,as you say,if the discount rate becomes higher,let's say 8%: Present Value=$100 * 1/(1.08) =$92.6 so, the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value.
the net present value as determined by normal discount rate is 10%
