This paper shows a formulation for the cost of equity and the WACC for growing perpetuities. Some authors have derived the general expressions for those formulas but not specifically for perpetuities with constant growth. The result obtained is that a previously general formulation for a finite...

The recent notion of Average Internal Rate of Return (AIRR) [Magni 2010, The Engineering Economist, 55(2), 150-180] completely solves the long-standing problem of the internal rate of return (IRR). While the AIRR is a return measure, this paper presents a cash-flow measure, namely the ratio of...

En la práctica financiera y la enseñanza de las finanzas el tratamiento que se le da a algunos de los conceptos más importantes en la evaluación de proyectos y la valoración de empresas en muchos casos es por decir lo menos, ligero. Por un lado está la determinación de los flujos de caja...

This paper presents a formulation for the cost of equity, the WACC, and the value of equity and firm for growing perpetuities without circularity, using some previous results. We also derive a relationship between leverage, D%, and growth, given a value of debt at instant zero.

Although we know there exists a simple approach to solve the circularity between value and the discount rate, known as the Adjusted Present Value proposed by Myers, 1974, it seems that practitioners still rely on the traditional Weighted Average Cost of Capital, WACC approach of weighting the...

In this teaching note I list some suggestions that might be useful to take into account when forecasting financial statements departing from historical data. The ideas presented in this note are the result of advising undergraduate and graduate students in the course Econ 195.96/295.96...

Since the Modigliani and Miller 1958 seminal paper, there has been a problem posed by the fact that the discount rate to value cash flows depends on the value of thesecash flows. This gives raise to the circularity problem.In this paper we propose an analytical solution to this circularity...

World Bank (WB) has played a crucial role in the development of the economies of the world, especially in the emerging countries. We recognize the leadership it has shown and the intellectual authority the WB has on planning offices, practitioners and consultants. For this reason it is very...

A large percentage of companies use the discounted cash flow (DCF) approach as the primary technique of investment/project evaluation and capital budgeting process. This approach requires forecasting detailed cash flow of the project under evaluation and then discounting the resulting cash flow...
