This dissertation suggests that the tax savings, in firm valuation, are discounted at a rate computed through a model presented in the literature review, which is different from the rates usually used for this purpose either by the top text books from, for example, Neves (2002), Ross,...

Llano-Ferro (2009) proposes a solution to avoid 'significant errors' when the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) obtained by the standard formula leads to significant errors in Net Present Value of the Firm calculations; particularly in those that apply to perpetual cash flow series. In...

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...
