The price of a security is The Present Value of All Future Cash flows. @ Required Rate of Return.
How ? Let Us understand by example
Consider A Bond with Face Value INR 1000, Coupon Rate = 10% payable annually, Maturity = 5 Years, required rate of return i.e. Yield of similar bond in the market is 14%.
How can we find the price we are willing to pay today (t=0) ?
By discounting all the Future Coupon amount i.e. 100 INR each year for 5 years @ 14% and Plus INR 1000 at redemption of bond. Total we will get = 100*PVAF(14, 5) + 1000*PVIF(14, 5) = 343.31 + 519.37 = INR 862.68
Therefore Present value of 100 INR today from each year end and Present value of 1000 INR today from 5th Year End.
