NEED GENIUS HERE -COME QUICK

say, this segment of a company is expected to produce -100K cash flow till perpetuity
how do i discount it?
discounting negative value makes no sense eg,
if my cost of capital was 10% i would have a PV of -1M
if my cost of capital was 50% i would have a PV of -0.2M
clearly this does not make sense, if my cost of capital is higher, i would lose more since i need higher return to compensate for my higher cost of capital
