    For unbundling
    The cash flows will grow by 8 %
    So the formula
    Fcf **(1+0.08)/ cost of capital – g …..isn’t it ??

    But the answer is only using cost of capital as denominator …why are not we substracting g from cost of capital in denominator ??

    And I have another confusion that the answer is not discounted

    Exam answer 435 * 1.08/0.1o = 4698

    I did this 435 * 1.08/0.10-0.08 * 0.909

    Would you please help me for ‘g’ and why not diiscounting ?
    Thanks

    Also for apv calculation on general the cost of debt used as a discount factor is a pre tax cost of debt always ??? M I right ? Or risk free rate alternate choice

    The question says that cash flows will increase by 8% in the first year only and then stay fixed.

    Multiplying by 1/r always gives the PV of a perpetuity when the first flow is in 1 years time. Here, the first flow is in 1 years time – there is no need to discount again.
