How-to calculate present value of one future cash flow

Present Value of One Future Cash Flow

Assume that an estimate of RM1000 is expected to be received in one year with an annual discount rate of 12 percent. The equation, 
$$PV = {FV \over (1+R)^n}$$

where PV is the present value, FV is the future value, R is the discount rate, and n is the number of periods.

In Python, we calculate using the following :

>>> 1000 / (1+0.12)
892.8571428571428
