Two DCF Approaches for Valuing Companies Under Alternative Financing Strategies (And How to Choose Between Them)

Abstract: This is the sequel to the authors' 1989 article discussing the two basic discounted cash flow approaches for valuing debt-financed transactions and corporations: weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and adjusted present value (APV). The WACC method discounts all after-tax (but pre-interest) cash flows at the company's weighted average cost of capital. The APV method treats the value of a levered firm as the value of the same firm if financed entirely with equity plus the discounted value of the interest tax… Show more

“…These studies indicate that PF has many advantages in that it lowers the project risk, uncertainty, and agency costs while also resolving overdrafts. Enzo Scannella [12] found advantages of PF as a new financial model, especially in the energy industry [13].…”

“…The complexity of PF deals is due to the need to structure a set of contracts that must be negotiated by all of the parties to the project. This also leads to higher transaction costs on account of the legal expenses involved in designing the project structure, dealing with project-related tax and legal issues, and the preparation of necessary project ownership, loan documentation, and other contracts [13]. MF can potentially mitigate PF's disadvantages due to its ability to lower the interest, which is described in greater detail below.…”

“…Alternatively, the problem can be resolved applying directly the disaggregate asset cash°ow method, because it does not require the market leverage ratio as an input and is more appropriate when target leverage ratios are linked to regulatory measures. Thus, precise assumptions can be made about the dynamic of bank debt in the analytic forecast period (Inselbag & Kaufold 1997). More generally, if a leverage-consistent valuation for banks is required, our model allows us to move from an asset to equity side approach, still considering the e®ects of changes in¯nancial structure on cost of capital and value.…”

“…This definition does not include a tax term, since tax shields are assumed to be as risky as the company's unlevered cash flows. This is a consequence of the assumption that debt is employed as a target percentage of the company value; seeMiles and Ezzell (1980),Harris and Pringle (1985) andInselbag and Kaufold (1997) for details.…”
