We generalize the classical concept of a certainty equivalent to a model where an investor can trade on a capital market with several future trading dates. We show that if a riskless asset is traded and the investor has a CARA utility then our generalized certainty equivalent can be evaluated...

A simple counterexample shows that the formula developed by Miles and Ezzell (1980) can be used to create an arbitrage opportunity. The only consequence to be drawn is that their WACC formula cannot be applied under the circumstances assumed by Miles and Ezzel. We show how the WACC theory has to...

We extend the WACC approach to a tax system having a firm income tax and a personal income tax of the investor as well. We use an artificial tax system incorporating most of the G-7 national tax codes as for example the classical or the imputation systems.
