Of Weights and WACCs

Business Valuation Review, 2005
This article clarifies some of the issues raised by the author in an earlier article. It is also a reply to criticisms advanced by J. Morris. Regarding the controversy of book versus market-value weights, it is shown that, aside from not being grounded in proper theory, market-value weights computed through iterations are not even needed: in simple ...

Growth Expectations out of WACC

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
We reconcile the empirically flat relation between historical betas and stock returns (flat security market line) with the common usage of the CAPM based on historical betas in valuation. Analysts bias cash flow growth expectations upwards for high-beta firms, so that the value-reducing effect of higher historical systematic risk cancels out and buy ...

Goldilocks and the Three WACCs

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
This paper presents three different approaches for calculating the levered annual values for a finite cash flow profile. In the first approach, we use KU, the return to unlevered equity to calculate the annual tax savings and use KU to calculate the (present) value of the tax savings. In the second approach, we use KD, the cost of debt to calculate the

Will the Deflated WACC Please Stand Up? And the Real WACC Should Sit Down

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010
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 the 1) nominal Weighted Average Cost of Capital, WACC, 2)
