We extend the WACC approach to a tax system having a firm income tax and a personal income tax of the investor as well. We use an artificial tax system incorporating most of the G-7 national tax codes as for example the classical or the imputation systems.

We generalize the classical concept of a certainty equivalent to a model where an investor can trade on a capital market with several future trading dates.We show that if a riskless asset is traded and the investor has a CARA utility then our generalized certainty equivalent can be evaluated...

This paper attempts to analytically determine the impact a tax shield (marginal tax rate) has on the value of a levered firm assuming that gains and losses are taxed differently. Previous research has done this by employing empirical methods and simulation studies. We are able to present...

The traditional literature on the CAPM assumes that investor's tax payments simply vanish from the model. This assumption is not at all consistent with the actual behavior of the Treasury. The theory of general equilibrium states that an interest rate rf = 0 will not affect prices if taxes are...

Fernandez [2004; The value of tax shields is NOT equal to the present value of tax shields. Journalof Financial Economics, 73, 145–165] claims to derive a formula for the valuation of debt tax shieldsfor firms with cash flows that growperpetually at a constant rate.We showthat his formula is...

This note incorporates wealth taxes in a simple asset valuation model based on discounted cash flows. Any valuation method requires an adjustment of pre-tax into post-tax costs of capital. By adopting the adjustment procedure proposed in previous literature, we show that arbitrage opportunities...

It is well-known that stock prices fluctuate far more than dividends. Traditional valuation methods are not able to depict this fact. In this paper we incorporate excess volatility into a simple DCF model by considering an autoregressive cash flows process with random coefficients. We show that...
