Evaluating an industrial opportunity often means to engage in financial modeling which results in estimation of a large amount of economic and accounting data, which are then gathered in an economically rational framework: the pro forma financial statements. While the standard net present value...

En este trabajo explicamos el uso apropiado de perpetuidades y el cálculo de su valor. Consideramos dos casos: calcular el valor en el período cero cuando la perpetuidad comienza con un flujo de caja dado en el período 1 y cuando se conoce el flujo de caja en el período cero y crece en el...

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...

I explain why realization of tax shields for finite cash flows in any period of time t are correlated to Earnings before Interest and Taxes and are not correlated to interest expenses at...

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...

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...
