Sir in APV Qs, do we always deduct issue cost of debt or equity from base case NPV, whether it is tax allowable or not?
Ask the Tutor ACCA AFM
Issue cost
4y ago#1As I explain in my lectures on this, issue costs will always make the APV lower.
It doesn't really matter whether they are deducted in the calculation of the base case NPV or deducted after calculating the base case NPV (as we usually do). The end result will obviously be the same.
Ok but issue cost of debt or equity will always be deducted na in order to arrive at APV, regardless of whether Qs mentions that issue cost is tax allowable or is not tax allowable?
4y ago#3Yes - they will always be deducted (if they are tax allowable then obviously only the after-tax amount will be deducted).
