The aim of the article is to present the method of establishing equity shares in weight average cost of capital (WACC), in which the value of loan capital results from the fixed assumptions accepted in the financial plan (for example a schedule of loan repayment) and own equity is evaluated by...

Economic value added (EVA) is the performance metric bound to be biased by design. The measurement bias comes from contrasting NOPAT, which is a purely operating profit, with the capital charge on the money investors have put into the firm, which is calculated by applying the after tax WACC...

We study how collateral requirements affect corporate policy decisions and present evidence that challenges the trade-off theory between risk management and investment policy due to collateral constraints. We compile a novel dataset on collateral and derivative transactions for all U.S. public...

This paper examines the effects of country-level governance—such as voice and accountability, political stability, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption—on the capital structure and investment financing decisions of firms. The full sample...

This paper explores the discounted cash flow valuation methods. We start the paper with the simplest case: no-growth, perpetual-life companies. Then we will study the continuous growth case and, finally, the general case. lt;brgt;lt;brgt;The different concepts of cash flow used in company...

We study mechanisms whereby stock market valuations may color corporate investment by using European firm-level data. We find that managers vicariously learn from stock prices when making investment decisions. Specifically, managers' propensity to learn increases in stock price informativeness....

A multinational firm operating under various tax regimes can minimize the total after-tax cost of its debt by allocating it optimally between its projects. To value a marginal project in this context, we build a multi-period model for the selection of projects, assuming that the firm maintains a...

There are various valuation methodologies applicable to both the financial evaluation of projects as to the valuation of companies. First, have developed methods of Discounted Cash Flows (DCF), which allow discounting, or bring to present value, a series of projected future cash flows over time....

In this paper we expand the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) framework for the valuation of an unlevered fi rm when the free cash flows are modeled by an arithmetic Brownian motion (ABM). We approximate the ABM by a binomial lattice in order to keep the typical time discrete framework of the DCF...
