Quick finance question about perpetuities

[cchen]

I know that the formula for find the value of a perpetuity is c/r.

What if the perpetuity starts at say yr 3 rather than yr 1? Is it the same value or do I need to discount it?

 

[cchen]

anyone?

Shouldn't u discount only if you need to know what its worth today?

At three years it would be C/R, then you need to discount it to your current year.
