Concept of present value and risk of inflation


Lockheed Martin and CACI International want to sell me a bond that will pay me $100,000 in one year.

1. Using the concept of present value and considering the risk of inflation, high interest rates, etc. what would I pay for this bond today?

2. How would I determine the discount rate given the following financial stats for both companies? If I would pay more than $100,000 for Lockheed Martin how would I calculate that and why?
