is uncertain!

The finite case with default

Since we can use the APV-formula,

Another way of obtaining this value is by evaluating and discounting it with the riskless rate.

In addition let us determine the cost of debt,

2.4 Financing based on market values

Definition 2.5 (financing based on market values):

Financing is based on market values if debt ratios are certain.

The amount of future debt is uncertain! The tax advantages from debt are uncertain as well! APV does not apply! Instead three different

procedures. . .

2.4 The general procedure

To evaluate the company.1. We start with «appropriate» cost of capital.2. We assume that these costs of capital are deterministic

and apply (as usual) a corresponding valuation formula.3. We then look at the connection of these procedures: they

aregiven by textbook formulas.

There are three «appropriate» cost of capital, hence there will be

three valuation procedures: FTE, TCF, WACC.

Notice that default is not ruled out!

2.4.1 Flow to equity (FTE)

With FTE we are looking at the stockholders and their cost of

equity. The cash flow to stockholders is given by

Proof: see our general valuation theorem (Theorem 1.1).Remarks:-FTE requires deterministic cost of equity.-The theorem does not yet require financing based on market values!-The leverage ratio does not appear in FTE.-The knowledge of expected repayment is necessary.

2.4.2 Remarks to TCF, I

The costs of debt are not reduced by the tax rate in the TCF textbook formula. The formula holds regardless of whether the relevant variables are deterministic or stochastic.

In particular: financing based on market values is not necessary!

But: if WACC type 1 as well as cost of equity and debt arecertain, then debt ratios must be certain as well! In this case, FTE and TCF can be used alternatively.

Page 26: Lecture 6: Financing Based on Market Values I Discounted Cash Flow, Section 2.3, 2.4.1-2.4.3 © 2004, Lutz Kruschwitz and Andreas Löffler

2.4.2 Remarks to TCF, II

On the other hand, in the case of no default: if the debt ratios are uncertain, either WACC type 1 or cost of equity has to beuncertain.

If WACC type 1 is deterministic TCF has to be used; youcannot apply FTE since costs of equity are uncertain.

If cost of equity is deterministic FTE has to be used; you cannot apply TCF since WACC type 1 is uncertain.

2.4.3 Weighted average cost of capital

We are now stockholders and debtholders again.

Definition 2.8 (weighted average cost of capital – type 2):

WACC type 2 are the conditional expected returns

Remark: These are costs of capital of a firm that is on the one hand levered

and on the other hand unlevered . Apples and oranges mixed here.

2.4.3 Remarks, I

The costs of debt are reduced by the tax rate in the WACC

textbook formula. The formula holds regardless of wether the

relevant variables are deterministic or stochastic.

In particular: financing based on market values is not necessary!

But: if WACC type 2 as well as cost of equity and debt are

certain, then the debt ratios must be certain as well! In this case,

FTE and WACC can be used alternatively.

2.4.3Remarks, II

On the other hand, in the case of no default: if debt ratios are uncertain, either WACC type 2 or cost of equity has to be uncertain.

If WACC type 2 is deterministic WACC has to be used; you cannot apply FTE since costs of equity are uncertain.

If cost of equity is deterministic FTE has to be used; you cannot apply WACC since WACC is uncertain.
