We show that the three valuation methods (if used correctly) always yield the same result. The most striking result of this paper is that for a firm growing at a rate g, the Net Present Value of the tax shield due to interest payments (in the APV approach) must be calculated as follows: NPV OF...

The equity premium (also called market risk premium, equity risk premium, market premium and risk premium), is one of the most important, discussed but elusive parameters in finance. The term equity premium is used to designate four different concepts (although many times they are mixed):...

We value a company that targets its capital structure in book-value terms. This capital structure definition provides us with a Value of Tax Shields that lies between those of Modigliani-Miller (fixed debt) and Miles-Ezzell (fixed market-value leverage ratio). If a company targets its leverage...

However, the correct calculation of the WACC rests on a correct valuation of the tax shields. The value of tax shields depends on the debt policy of the company....
