stock had an initial price of $92 per share‚ paid a dividend of $1.45 per share during the year‚ and had an ending share price of $104. Compute the percentage total return. The return of any asset is the increase in price‚ plus any dividends or cash flows‚ all divided by the initial price. The return of this stock is: R = [($104 – 92) + 1.45] / $92 R = 0.1462 or 14.62% Calculating Returns Rework the problem above‚ but this time assuming the ending share price is $81. Using the equation

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) Calculations The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis. Usually‚ the WACC is the weighted average of the cost of debt (Kd) and the cost of equity (Ke)‚ since debt and equity are the most common sources of funds for the companies. In general‚ the formula for WACC is the following: As implied by the formula itself‚ if a company does not have interest-bearing debts‚ then its WACC would equal

Capital Cash Flows: A Simple Approach to Valuing Risky Cash Flows Richard S. Ruback* This paper presents the Capital Cash Flow (CCF) method for valuing risky cash flows. I show that the CCF method is equivalent to discounting Free Cash Flows (FCF) by the weighted average cost of capital. Because the interest tax shields are included in the cash flows‚ the CCF approach is easier to apply whenever debt is forecasted in levels instead of as a percent of total enterprise value. The CCF method retains

combination of WACC and APV methods. As stated above‚ ACC will use the Leverage buy out (LBO) approach‚ which means that the debt to equity ratio of AirThread will not be the same from 2008 to 2012‚ so APV approach would be more suitable to valuate the cash flows between 2008 and 2012. After 2012‚ AirThread will de-lever to industry norm and thus‚ they will have a target leverage ratio; therefore WACC is best to estimate the terminal value.
