    Explanation:

    When the discount rate of a present amount of cash increases it will also result in increase in the future values you would have received. Take for example an investment of $1000 with interest of 25% gives $250 at year end. If Interest is increased to 50% it will give double of the future value (that is $500 at year end).

    When the number of periods or time of an investment increases, the future value also increases. For example a $1,000 investment that is expected to give $200 in 3 years, will give $400 if investment time is increased to 6 years.
