Debt financing with subsidizes interest rate has a multidimensional impact on the firm. Value of the levered equity, value of the debt and overall firm value will be different of those values with debt financing at market rate.

In the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) applied to the free cash flow (FCF), we assume that the cost of debt is the market, unsubsidized rate. With debt at the market rate and perfect capital markets, debt only creates value in the presence of taxes through the tax shield. In some cases,...

In the standard Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) applied to the free cash flow (FCF), we assume that the cost of debt is the market, unsubsidized rate. With debt at the market rate and perfect capital markets, debt only creates value in the presence of taxes through the tax shield. In...

The paper supplies additional explanations to my earlier published article What's Wrong with the Economic Value Added. It stresses that the construction of Accounting based Capital Charge doesn't mean the departure from market values of cost of equity and cost of debt. On the contrary Accounting...

When calculating Tax Savings, TS, we are confronted with a strange mix of accounting accrual and market value when involving TS in the calculation of the Weighted Average Cost of Capital, WACC, or the Cost of Equity, Ke. Firms earn the right to TS once they accrue the interest expense and they...

This chapter is devoted to the definition and calculation of cash flows, namely, cash flow to debt, (CFD), cash flow to equity, (CFE), Capital Cash Flow, (CCF), tax savings, (TS) and free cash flow, (FCF). The direct and indirect methods are used to derive the relevant cash flow profiles for the...

In a world with taxes, there is a small discrepancy between the deflated WACC WACCDef and the real wacc. This is due to the (1-T) term that is in the standard expression for the WACC applied to the Free Cash Flow (FCF). We compare different approaches for valuing nominal and real cash flows with...

Terminal value is critical for valuation purposes because very often it is a large part of what constitutes the value of a firm. In this short note I answer and clarify some typical questions and myths related to the calculation of terminal value. They are related to the use of non growing...

In this teaching note we show that using the findings of Tham and Velez-Pareja 2002, for finite cash flows, Ke and hence WACC depend on the discount rate that is used to value the tax shield, TS and as expected, Ke and WACC are not constant with Kd as the discount rate for the tax shield, even...
