This paper concerns the terminal value calculation, represented by {numerator/(r-g)} where r and g define, respectively, the discount factor and the growth rate. Expressions of this kind derive from discounting a geometric series of payoffs, the Gordon-Williams model providing the prototype....

This document describes the spreadsheets and the related textual narratives that we have developed for FSA and valuation. These spreadsheets and their related documents are available for free at http://www.godeohlson.com/. These spreadsheets can be used for two purposes: (1) teaching FSA and...

Standard formulas for valuing the equity of going concerns require prediction of payoffs "to infinity" but practical analysis requires that they be predicted over finite horizons. This truncation inevitably involves (often troublesome) "terminal value" calculations. This paper contrasts dividend...
