The physical location of the business
B
The color of the company's logo
C
The number of employees in a company

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of the time value of money, which states that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future due to its earning potential.
Recognize that the time value of money is primarily evaluated using the interest rate, which is the rate at which future cash flows are discounted to determine their present value.
Learn that the interest rate reflects factors such as inflation, risk, and opportunity cost, making it a critical component in financial decision-making.
Identify that other factors like the physical location of the business, the color of the company's logo, or the number of employees are irrelevant to the calculation of the time value of money.
Conclude that the interest rate is the correct answer because it directly impacts the calculation of the present value of future cash flows.
