How would you go about putting a purchase price on an after tax dollar, earned next year? Here is my current thinking which is my attempt at discounted cash flow analysis. I really don't know whether it is correct.

$1.00
Less inflation
Less interest rate (minus the taxes)
If buying a business, less an appropriate margin of safety

Equals less than today's $1.00


Do you agree with this equation, or is it incorrect?
