Honestly, this question is giving me a headache. Can we just go with the answer that has the most jargon? That's usually the right one, right?

Option B makes the most sense to me. Inflation can have a significant impact on cash flows, so we need to account for that in the calculation. Plus, using a real discount rate will give us a more accurate NPV.

I see your point, but I still think B is the best approach.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't it be easier to just use the nominal cash flows and a nominal discount rate? That way, we don't have to worry about forecasting inflation.

I think D makes more sense, excluding the effect of inflation.

I think option B is the correct way to calculate NPV in an inflationary environment. Forecasting the cash flows with the effect of inflation and using a real discount rate seems like the most logical approach.

But doesn't using real cash flows and a nominal discount rate account for inflation?
