Time value of money: discount or compound a single sum, value level and growing annuities and perpetuities, and compute a terminal value by Gordon growth or exit multiple. Method selects the formula. Use to move cash flows through time or to value a terminal value in a DCF; combine with a rate from valuation_discount_rate. For uneven multi-period cash flows use valuation_income_methods; for rate construction use valuation_discount_rate. Per method: present_value needs future_value + discount_rate + periods; future_value needs present_value + discount_rate + periods; annuity_pv needs payment + discount_rate + periods; perpetuity_pv needs payment + discount_rate; growing_annuity_pv needs payment + discount_rate + growth_rate + periods; terminal_value_gordon_growth needs final_year_cashflow + perpetual_growth_rate + discount_rate; terminal_value_exit_multiple needs final_year_cashflow + exit_multiple. Rates and growth are decimals (0.10 = 10%); for terminal_value_gordon_growth the discount rate must exceed the perpetual growth rate. Only method is required; all other parameters are method-dependent — supply those the selected method names and omit the rest (defaults apply where defined). Rates and premiums are decimals (0.10 = 10%). Pure arithmetic: no I/O and no external calls, rounded to 2 decimals; parameters belonging to other methods are accepted and ignored. An unknown method, or a missing method-required parameter, returns an error instead of a value.
