Lõppväärtusi

Lõppväärtusi is the plural form of lõppväärtus in Estonian, referring to terminal or end values. The term is used across disciplines to denote the value that represents an end state, outcome, or endpoint of a process, calculation, or assessment.

In psychology and social sciences, lõppväärtused (terminal values) describe desirable end states that people strive to achieve in life. This usage is closely associated with value theory, notably the distinction between terminal values (such as happiness, inner harmony, family security, social justice) and instrumental values (the means to achieve those ends, such as honesty and independence). Terminal values are viewed as high-level goals that guide behavior and life choices.

In economics and finance, lõppväärtus or terminal value is a key concept in valuation methods such as discounted cash flow analysis. It represents the value of an asset, project, or company at the end of an explicit forecast horizon, often estimated using a perpetuity growth model or an exit multiple. The terminal value can have a substantial impact on the overall valuation and is sensitive to assumptions about growth rates and discount rates.

In mathematics and computing, lõppväärtused may denote final or limit values reached by a process. This can mean the last value of a finite sequence or the convergent value approached by an algorithm. The term is used to describe what a calculation or iterative method yields at termination or stabilization.

Overall, lõppväärtusi encompasses end-state values applicable in diverse fields, from human goals to numerical or financial endpoints.
