The typical discounted cash flow model used to value assets openly projects cash flows for an initial set of years and then typically assumes that the cash flows will grow at a constant rate into the indefinite future. In this paper, we discuss the implications for valuation and the discount rate when one assumes that cash flows have a non-zero probability of cessation throughout the valuation period. We demonstrate that, if one allows for even a small cessation probability, then a substantially higher discount rate is required in deriving the present value of the expected stream of cash flows
