    Hello!

    When computing each of the present values, can we use the risk free rate as a discount factor as opposed to the examiner’s normal cost of borrowing?

    I’ve seen in your notes that we can, but in my opinion it gives a big difference in answers for both approaches.

    Thank you.

    Yes you can.

    The examiners answer specifically writes:

    Note to markers:
    Full credit should be given if tax shield is discounted at the government interest rate of 3·1% rather than the normal borrowing rate of 8%.
