A candidate for deletion

The intellectual level of this article is more suitable for schoolchildren than for the undergraduate/graduate reader that Citizendium is intended to serve. It gives the misleading impression that the time value of money can be explained by a tautology and some elementary algebra. I am inclined to ask for its deletion on the grounds that it is duplicated by the discount rate article which is of a higher standard. Does anyone disagree? Nick Gardner 07:15, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
